We loved hearing all about the art culture in Belfast … and our guide Marti had a great knowledge about the city its music and art coupled with information about the architecture and history and the future of Belfast looking forward and its regeneration … ps don’t book a Monday night as he was disappointed with the quite live music scene in some of the venues .. so a night later on in the week would be better. … loved the trad music In Fibber Magees as well !!
