World first iPhone app promotes Belfast music scene

Belfast City Council is using the very latest technology to promote the city’s thriving music scene, by launching the world’s first iPhone app on the subject.

The app accompanies three other complementary initiatives – a new website, www.belfastmusic.org, an expanded Belfast Music exhibition at the Oh Yeah Music Centre in the Cathedral Quarter, and a weekly music bus tour of the city’s musical landscape – being launched this evening (Wednesday 16 June). They have been initiated by Belfast City Council, with the support of the Oh Yeah Music Centre, BBC Northern Ireland, the Northern Ireland Tourist Board and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.

As more and more people use their mobile phones to find out information, the free ‘Belfast Music’ iPhone app allows local music fans and visitors alike to find out not only what’s happening on the scene at the moment but also to explore the city’s rich musical heritage.

The app features:

  • An interactive music tour, narrated by BBC broadcaster Stuart Bailie, and featuring a soundtrack by the likes of David Holmes, Neil Hannon and the Ulster Orchestra, Rudi, The Undertones, Ash, Therapy? and many more;
  • a Hall Of Fame, introducing the user to Belfast’s music legends;
  • up to the minute gig listings and news, making sure music lovers don’t miss a beat by their favourite band; and
  • a showcase section, introducing the best in contemporary Belfast music.

Officially launching the initiatives, the Lord Mayor of Belfast, Councillor Pat Convery, commented:

“Belfast music receives high international praise and our latest generation of musicians are playing a crucial role in revitalising the city.  Our city is now lit up throughout the year with a vibrant calendar of events. Every night of the week, venues in the city are busy with local bands, DJs, traditional musicians, orchestras, jazz players and songwriters.

“This is an art form that is defining the new mood of Belfast and these new initiatives aim to profile and promote Belfast’s reputation as the birthplace of exceptional music”.

The launch has been endorsed by the Minister for Culture, Arts and Leisure, Nelson McCausland MLA, who stated:

“Northern Ireland musicians and creative talent have long demonstrated their ability to compete and succeed on the world stage.  This exciting development showcases this success but also demonstrates the increasing convergence between music and digital media and the new opportunities for innovative products and services”.

The development of the app has involved many of the leading lights in the local music media.  One of the contributors, is the publisher of AU (Alternative Ulster) magazine, Jonny Tiernan, who commented:

“The ‘Belfast Music’ app is an innovative and unique way to introduce the rich heritage of the Northern Irish musical landscape to people. It is both fun and informative, and manages to reflect the extraordinary diversity of talent we have in this country. I’d recommend it to everyone as an experience to take part in.”

Music iPhone app creator, Gawain Morrison, of Filmtrip, concluded: “I’ve been in and around the music scene of Belfast for 15 years, and have always been impressed with the talent that we’ve produced, so I’m really proud that we were able to create the iPhone app to showcase where we’ve come from and where we’re going to.  I think it shouts to the world how cool Belfast has become.”

A dedicated new website, www.belfastmusic.org, is also being launched at the same time as the app, about which David Lewis, director of Culture Northern Ireland, said:

“The Belfast music scene is alive and kicking, but sometimes it can be difficult keeping up with what’s going on. Audiences are increasingly switched on to the digital world.  It’s now second nature for many people to find information on their computer or mobile phone. BelfastMusic.org is simply responding to that need.”

Alongside the app and website, an exhibition telling the story of the Belfast music scene has been greatly expanded.  Originally opened in April 2009, the Belfast Music exhibition at the Oh Yeah centre has added more memorabilia and storyboards, adding the stories of the showbands, traditional music, rock and the modern dance culture to those of the blues and punk eras.

“It never fails to surprise me how much we have achieved,” says Stuart Bailie, CEO of Oh Yeah and curator of the exhibition.

“Collectively, we’ve sold well over 100 million records. Our music is loved all over the world and we’ve achieved these results in spite of many challenges.  Music is our greatest natural resource.”

The Belfast Music app, www.belfastmusic.org and the Belfast Music exhibition have been part-financed by the European Regional Development Fund under the European Sustainable Competitiveness Programme for Northern Ireland and administered by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB), through the Tourism Innovation Fund.

Siobhan McCauley, NITB Director of Product Development, said:

“The Tourism Innovation Fund seeks out fresh, cutting edge ideas which will put Northern Ireland firmly on the visitor’s map. Music has a huge appeal to everyone and Northern Ireland has a very strong musical heritage that forms a key part of our unique culture. The new app and website, as well as the exhibition at the Oh Yeah centre will not only showcase our existing musical talent but will also ensure visitors have up to date information on local events and festivals.”

The popular Belfast Music Tour also has been relaunched for the summer.  The tour takes in many of the landmarks associated with the Belfast music story, including the birthplaces of the likes of Ruby Murray, Van Morrison, Brian Kennedy, Gary Moore and Duke Special, as well as the places that inspired their songs and the venues which put the city on the international music map, from the Ulster Hall to the Limelight, the Maritime Hotel to Queen’s University.

HMV In-store gigs to promote Glasgowbury 2010

HMV In-store gigs to promote Glasgowbury 2010

This week, Glasgowbury will make history as the first festival to ever promote itself through HMV in-store gigs.

LaFaro and Wonder Villains will help Glasgowbury become the first ever festival to launch themselves through HMV, with gigs in Belfast and Derry this weekend.

The mighty LaFaro will play HMV Belfast (Donegall Arcade) on Friday 18th June from 1pm while Derry wunderkids The Wonder Villains will play HMV Derry (Richmond Centre) on Saturday 19th June from 2pm.

Radio One pledge support to Glasgowbury

Rory McConnell and his BBC Radio One Introducing NI team will return to Glasgowbury this year in association with the Small But Massive Main Stage.

After the success of last year’s involvement when Rory and his Radio One team recorded the entire main stage programme, their return comes at a time when the chosen acts will help Glasgowbury celebrate 10 years at the heart of new music.

Radio One’s commitment has helped Glasgowbury and its unsigned acts become more recognised on an international scale, promoting the best in new and emerging music.

“Since the show became part of the BBC Introducing strand our focus changed completely to exclusively N.Irish and Irish unsigned and under the radar artists, getting involved with Glasgowbury just made so much sense.

“As before where priorities with festival organisers might not always be about the music, it was refreshing to get involved with a group of people who had one thing on their mind: showcasing the amazing music made on this island and celebrating it in front of as many people as possible.”

Fighting With Wire will headline the Small But Massive stage after ten years of festival involvement, propelling both themselves and the event into a new era.

“It’s a big year ahead for Fighting With Wire. There’s a lot of people calling on them to stand up and be considered a world class act where they’ll be expected to regularly stand on stages the size of the Glasgowbury main stage.

“So the night of the 24th will reassure those people, and also be a very proud moment for Paddy and myself who have known Cahir from the beginning.”

Looking ahead to this year’s event, Rory is keen that this year’s acts use the platform wisely.

“I see last year as the showcase of N.Irish and Irish talent to the world, and this year now we’ve got peoples attention it’ll be important to make the most of it.

“People know there’s an amazing scene here now, so Glasgowbury 2010 is a chance for bands to act upon it and make the most of peoples ear while we’ve got it. If you’re a band lucky enough to play the festival in 2010 then invite as many people as you possibly can that are in a position to help your career, over to see you.

“Paddy should be inundated by all the bands playing asking for guestlist for all the industry folk coming to see you. Glasgowbury’s your stage, use it wisely.

“I think the way things are going this could be the last Glasgowbury as we know it, so the festival itself could be one to keep an eye on.

“It’s like a bubbling pot that’s about to boil over, I don’t think it’ll be able to stay contained much longer.”

ARTHUR’S DAY IS BACK!

Arthur's Day is back 23rd September!

SNOW PATROL, PAOLO NUTINI AND JOSÉ GONZÁLEZ AMONG PERFORMERS JOINING WORLDWIDE CELEBRATION TO HONOUR A REMARKABLE MAN WITH A REMARKABLE LEGACY

GUINNESS WANTS NI MUSIC ACTS TO JOIN ARTHUR’S DAY CELEBRATIONS.

Today, Thursday 3rd June: After much public anticipation, today GUINNESS® & CO confirmed that Arthur’s Day is back this year with events taking place in Dublin, Cork and Galway as well as other festivities happening throughout the country on Thursday, 23rd September.

Arthur’s Day honours the remarkable legacy of Arthur Guinness, the pioneering brewer and philanthropist who signed the 9,000 year lease on the St. James’s Gate Brewery in 1759 and introduced GUINNESS to the world.

Last year’s Arthur’s Day celebrations captured the imagination of the entire nation with thousands of people across Northern Ireland joining artists and celebrities to celebrate the peak of the Guinness 250th Celebrations at St James’s Gate Brewery and in pubs and music venues in Dublin and around the world. Thousands more signed an online petition to make Arthur’s Day a public holiday, while others organised their own celebrations in pubs all over the country.

The worldwide celebration will begin at 17:59 (GMT) in Ireland, when Arthur’s Day will once again see the nation witness some of the world’s most established music artists play in great pubs and venues, while raising a glass to Arthur Guinness and his lasting legacy. GUINNESS fans around the world will join in on the celebrations at 17.59 local time in the Caribbean, Africa, USA, Asia and throughout Europe.

This year’s celebrations will see one-off performances in unique locations from some of the worlds most established recording artists, including home grown global phenomenon Snow Patrol, multi-platinum artist Paolo Nutini, the internationally acclaimed José González, crowd favourites The Magic Numbers and Sharon Shannon and some of the best emerging stars of today including The View, Jay Sean, The Hoosiers, Slow Club, The Maccabees, and We Have Band. Over the summer months there will be over 40 more amazing acts announced.

Multi-platinum artist Paolo Nutini pictured with (front from left) Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly and Jonny Quinn of home grown global phenomenon Snow Patrol pictured in Bruxelle’s Bar Dublin at the announcement by Guinness and Co that Arthur’s Day 2010 is back on Thursday, September 23rd.

Not content with Arthur’s Day expanding to other Irish cities, GUINNESS & CO is also looking for 100 up and coming Irish acts to be part of the Arthur’s Day line up on 23rd September.

Every Thursday from mid July through to early August, GUINNESS & CO. will be running music events, called ‘Our Thursdays’, in pubs across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, giving emerging Irish music acts the opportunity to showcase their talents.

From the 100 emerging acts, three will be chosen to play in Galway, Cork and in Hopstore 13 at St James’s Gate Brewery on Arthur’s Day alongside amazing international artists including Snow Patrol.  Bands that want to be part of ‘Our Thursdays’ should log onto www.guinness.com/ourthursdays

Speaking at the launch of Arthur’s Day 2010, Tanya Clarke, Head of Guinness Marketing, said, “Arthur’s Day was designed to recognise a remarkable man with a remarkable legacy but we never imagined that so many people would embrace it in the way they did. From Donegal to Kerry, people made a huge effort to mark the day in their own special way.”

Clarke continued, “Arthur’s Day is a celebration with substance. One million people helped to create the Arthur Guinness Fund in Ireland, which has already assigned one million euros to support social entrepreneurs who are helping to drive sustainable social impact around the country. A further €1.5 million will be used to support future Irish social entrepreneurs in the coming years. We are delighted to announce details of Arthur’s Day 2010, which includes exciting organised music events all over the country this year and I look forward to raising a glass to the man himself on the day.”

People will get the opportunity to see some of the music industry’s biggest names play together in studio venues in Dublin, Galway and Cork, while those people attending the 29 pub venues across the three cities will have the unique experience of seeing surprise performances from international artists in the intimate surroundings of a traditional pub.

Proceeds from all Arthur’s Day ticket sales will be donated to the Arthur Guinness Fund and ticket information will be announced in mid July.

Arthur’s Day celebrations are strictly over 18’s events.
