Belfast’s Oh Yeah music centre is to celebrate the music of Belfast with a week-long series of events.
Running from 12-16 November, the organisation’s Sound of Belfast will see live performances, industry workshops with music experts from Belfast and London and talent development sessions taking place across the city.
Among the events include the Northern Ireland Music Prize, Scratch My Progress (supported by PRS for Music Foundation and the Arts Council Northern Ireland) and the new talent showcase Breaking Bands.
Lynne McDowell, BPI’s head of PR, said: ‘The UK’s creative industries are a growing sector and music, in particular, holds enormous potential for economic growth, business development, tourism and community engagement in Northern Ireland.
‘We know that Belfast is bursting at the seams with promising songwriters, artists and performers and we believe that there has never been a better time to focus on turning that buzz into a sustainable business.
