Following the recent fire at Primark/ old bank buildings that gutted the heart of Royal Avenue, on the 21st September, Culture Night organisers are staging audacious live performance on the periphery of the current “no mans land” as colourful counterpoise to the backdrop of the smouldering ruin.
The “Right Royal” Avenue Stage will feature spectacular performances from Chidambaram, Sink the Ink, The Lotties, Daydream Nation and Electric Octopus, in an attempt to
Kerry Rooney of Culture Night Belfast said: “The sadly necessary cordon around the old bank buildings following the recent fire at Primark, has caused Royal Avenue to seem like something of a ghost town of late.
All that is about to change on Culture Night, as we present a stage of rip-roaring acts to reclaim lower Royal Avenue from gloom and demonstrate that it’ll take more than a little fire to dampen our spirits! This is what Culture Night is all about: The city rallying against adversity and coming together to dream of a better Belfast. What better way to send that message out that to bring Royal Avenue to life again after the recent misfortune.”
There will be further “Right Royal” fun to be had at a neighbouring Ceili stage, with dancing from the McElhinney School of Dance and a South Belfast Irish Dance for Adults. Then the acclaimed Hounds of Ulster will be singing AND dancing and generally raising the roof.
Culture Night Belfast takes place on 21 September, between 1-10pm.
