It’s a perfectly simple plan. We find a huge building in the
centre of Belfast, and we fill it with music makers and people
with creative energy. We kit it out with a recording studio, rehearsal
rooms, a performance area and loads of space for growing fresh
ideas.
We do all this because Belfast lacks a dedicated music space. We appreciate that our best acts have prospered in difficult conditions. Snow Patrol also know this, and their active support has played a critical part in the process.
Gary Lightbody kick-started the idea in December 2005 and like the rest of us, he strongly believes that many more acts can flourish with due encouragement and industry expertise. To meet this need, we have set up Oh Yeah, a non profit-making organisation.
We spent 2006 in the search for a suitable location, and we’ve found it at the Outlet Building, part of the rapidly developing Cathedral Quarter in Belfast. The plans are in place and the future is inspiring. Our history is loaded. Let’s keep the hits coming...
