Description

Belfast’s best Sunday night, a band you’ll find difficult to better on any day or night of the week.

For over 25 years they have brought the weekend to a close performing their own inimitable brand of covers in their unique style.

Live music from a fantastic band of players led by one of Belfast’s most renowned singer-songwriters Ken Haddock. He is joined by some of the city’s finest musicians and such is the renown of this night there are often guests from the local music scene joining them on stage (Foy Vance, Cormac Neeson from The Answer, Matt McGinn, Gareth Dunlop, etc., etc.).

Sit back and relax with a Guinness in the intimate surrounds of the Empire Bar, from John Martyn to Van Morrison, Bowie to Prince, the blues and soul of Belfast every Sunday night. Admission Free.
