FEATURES: Aussie artist Belfast exhibition
Monday, November 21st, 2011

Whoever said Detroit was the city to be for arts and creativity has clearly never been to Belfast. In the wake of the EMA Awards, the unveiling of the new Titanic museum, and a number of art venues popping up all over the city, it’s clear that Belfast is well-known for more than just its turbulent past. Australian-born and Belfast-based artist Teelah George recently launched a collection of her latest artwork at the Lawrence Street Workshops, located just off-campus from Queen’s University.

OPINION: Frankie my dear, we don’t give a damn.
Monday, November 21st, 2011

Finally, the cruel joke is over. Frankie Cocozza, no-one’s favourite wannabe rock star, has been unceremoniously kicked off the X Factor, after breaking one of the show’s ‘golden rules’. What that rule may have been seems a little hazy, but the papers are all screaming ‘cocaine Cocozza’ so I think we can deduce the answer from that, even if half the country couldn’t work out that little Frankie is a few notes short of the full chorus.
