Whether it be Bruno Mars, The Pogues, Beyonce or Sinatra, Belfast has a lasting rhythm that pulsates the city. Live music is something I find brilliant, coming from Manchester I thought I was from the capital of great live performances. Yet Belfast seems to have extreme talent where you chose to go, on whatever day it may be. Buskers in Victoria Square to the Harp on a Sunday there seems to be an array of musicians across the city. They seem to string and intertwine the traditions of the islands core through violins and the beating drum, to then include many artists from the UK and worldwide. What I find great, is that it you may be listening to an artist you dislike, or a song you don’t know, but through the Belfast way of performing it brings such high spirits and a stomp of a foot to the audience. Spirit is something that the island of Ireland seems to know a lot about and their eagerness to have a good time is something that makes it feel like home.
