ARTS: Preview – Mac Fleetwood

It costs at least £80 for a ticket to see Fleetwood Mac.  It costs £35 to see their rumoured best support act Rumours of Fleetwood Mac.  Or Mac Fleetwood is a tenner. So the same price as their Greatest Hits but you can drink and dance in front of people so it is slightly less odd. And they aren’t a third of the price for a third of the talent, they are a band who can emulate the originals immaculately. FULL STORY

SPORT: QUB Boat Club on the Crest of a Wave – BUCS Regatta 2011

The Royal Wedding may have gifted the majority of the population an extended bank holiday weekend, but it was hard work and ceremonies of a different kind which were to occupy the men and women of the Queen’s University Boat Club. 14 times were the rowers to mount the medal podium, 7 of these on the top spot, across the three days of the British Universities Championships, held at the National Watersports centre in Nottingham.

OPINION: Vote DUP

The Democratic Unionist Party has a positive vision for Northern Ireland. We want to see a prosperous Northern Ireland, one where people can be proud to live, work and bring up a family. After being marred for decades by terrorism and conflict, our country now has stable devolved institutions at Stormont, where local people are taking local decisions and all parties in the Executive are signed up in support of the police, courts and rule of law.

OPINION: Vote Alliance

Change is not a word which is often associated with politics in Northern Ireland; we have been fighting the same issues and the same questions for at least the last 90 years. The same parties having the same tired arguments. But change is possible. At the last election, the Alliance Party vote grew right across Northern Ireland in almost every constituency, and Naomi Long created headlines when she was elected MP East Belfast. Many people right across Northern Ireland chose to vote for a positive, fair and shared future.
