INTERVIEW: QUB alumnus and lead singer of The Answer – Cormac Neeson
Thursday, March 4th, 2010

After initially expecting to get only a few support slots, they stepped out of the huge 14 month tour to concentrate on their 15-date UK tour.

The Waterfront Hall played host to the celebrated comedian alongside a full orchestra earlier this month, on the Belfast stop of his UK-wide tour. Ambitious and impressive as the show sounds, the jokes unfortunately fell flat more often than they hit the right note.

Saturday, October 31st, 2009
Students struggled to find accommodation at the start of the academic year when deposits for Elms Village were returned to unsuccessful applicants uncomfortably close to the beginning of term.
