REVIEW: Flickstock at the QFT: The harder they come
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010
If you haven’t been lucky enough to get tickets for this summer’s big festivals then get yourself down to the QFT this week to relive some of the greatest musicians. For the mere price of a cinema ticket you can walk in the shoes of the icons and get your festival fever fix in just a few hours. You’ll leave the screen feeling as uplifted (but not as muddy) as the crowds nationwide.

ARTS: DJ Yoda among Belfast line up this Autumn
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010
Pioneer turntablist, DJ Yoda, is bringing his DJ/VJ show to the Limelight on the 23rd October. One of the most interesting and best DJs in the world over the past 10 years, Yoda has the ability to mix the Hip-Hop and the Dr. Who theme song and turn The Specials’ ‘Ghost town’ into a thriving metropolis. Mixing video and music at the same time, it’s guaranteed to be an amazing night whatever style of music you’re into, whether it’s Drum and Bass, Country or a bit of cheesy Pop, because it’ll all be played.

REVIEW: Vincent River
Monday, August 16th, 2010
With the Belfast Pride festival coming to a close, Philip Ridley’s Vincent River, a dark play of loss and acceptance, provided a more than suitable ending to the festival’s twentieth birthday celebrations. Gracing the stage of the Crescent Arts Centre the depiction of a mother’s grief over the hate-crime committed against her homosexual son, combined with a tormented teenage boy’s search for his true sexual identity, was intense, thought-provoking and unapologetically raw.
