A series of musicians and industry figures are supporting the plans to establish a dedicated music centre for Belfast. Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol, Tim Wheeler from Ash and Radio1’s Colin Murray are among the active supporters of the project, which is called Oh Yeah.
The venue is a former bonded whiskey warehouse in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter, Belfast’s booming cultural district. It measures 14, 500 square feet over three floors and will soon be home to rehearsal rooms, performance space, a café and office units to incubate new music businesses.
Gary Lightbody helped to kick-start the process during a visit home in December 2005. He first visited the site on Gordon Street in August 2006. “It’s perfect,†he said.
