A series of musicians and industry figures are supporting the plans to establish a dedicated music centre for Belfast. Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol, Tim Wheeler from Ash and Radio1’s Colin Murray are among the active supporters of the project, which is called Oh Yeah.
The venue is a former bonded whiskey warehouse in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter, Belfast’s booming cultural district. It measures 14, 500 square feet over three floors and will soon be home to rehearsal rooms, performance space, a café and office units to incubate new music businesses.
Gary Lightbody helped to kick-start the process during a visit home in December 2005. He first visited the site on Gordon Street in August 2006. “It’s perfect,” he said.
Online donations to the Oh Yeah project are available through Paypal.

* FORUM *
We've opened the forum again cause a few people have been saying it would add a bit more community to the site, please use it so it doesn't get closed again!
We've made a minor change to how gigs are added to the site, the lineup section is now a single text area instead of individual text boxes for each act, a small change but it makes adding gigs a lot quicker cause you can copy and paste the lineup from elsewhere :)
* NEWS SUBMISSIONS *
Don't forget you can now submit all your news stories for inclusion on the front page of the site, any dance/electronic music related news in Ireland will be considered.
* PODCAST *
Beathoker Podcast 003 is now online, an all Irish producer mix from System 47
Firstly thanks to everyone who came down last month, twas a great wee gig and the place was jumping to old skool jungle til the wee early hours.
We’ve got our second credit crunching, barrack busting dance off on Saturday the 6th June. Tuneage on the night will come from Homespun and Rudimentary resident Chuck bringing some of his latin & broken beat flava to the Apache rig, and we’re glad to have Belfast turntablist & producer John King back again this month to bring some serious deck skills to the table. Finishing of the night will be Apache residents Jayuu and Jim Morton dropping some soulful dnb rollers til late in the night.
The paltry fee of a 5er will get you entrance and as per usual it’s a bring your own event. Things will be kicking of around 9.30pm at Blick Studios, 51 Malone Road (across the road from the Church)
Sonic Boom Six return with their third album City of Thieves, the fifth record to be released on their own Rebel Alliance Recordings. Whilst SB6's eclectic punk soundclash staunchly remains far too down-to-earth to ever being described as ‘prog', the album follows the concept of a collection of songs that explore and examine life in a large UK city.
The Luchagors are a DIY punk band from Atlanta, Georgia who are fronted by Amy Dumas. You might recognise Amy, she wrestled as Lita in the WWE. Amy was an influential force in women's wrestling in ECW and the WWE over the past decade.
