Music to your ears

It’s true, the sounds of Belfast are sweeter than any other city, and we’ve got the Belfast Music App to prove it. The Music Heritage tour on the app will explain what we’re on about, showing where Belfast music legends came from and the venues still going. The Hall of Fame shows our legacy in names, and the listings will direct you to the next big thing playing Belfast’s venues.

Word-perfect

There are few better ways to get to know a city than through its writers.
