    Celebrating Years of Music A Serenade to Music “We are the music-makers And we are the dreamers of dreams…” (Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy, Ode) The story of BBC Northern Ireland’s involvement in nurturing and broadcasting local musical talent is still in the making. This exhibition provides a revealing glimpse of work in progress at the BBC’s Community Archive in documenting the programmes and personalities who have brought music in all its different forms to life, and looks at how today’s broadcasters are responding to the musical styles and opportunities of a new century. It celebrates BBC NI’s role in supporting musical diversity and creative excellence and reflects changes in fashion, technology and society across 80 years of local broadcasting. “ Let us celebrate the way we were and the way we live now.

Popular Music In September 1968 Van Morrison was in NewYork, recording a series of songs about life back in Belfast. This was his Astral Weeks album, one of his most important works. It was also a vivid snapshot of Northern Ireland just before the climate changed dramatically with the outbreak of the Troubles. In Morrison’s sentimental picture, there were youthful voices, parties and high-spirits; flamboyant figures such as Madame George cruised the streets of Belfast as the post-war generation challenged social conventions. The hippy ideals were already receding in America, but Belfast had experienced a belated Summer of Love and a blossoming social life.

Major consultation exercises of this nature normally attract a lot of interest but to secure involvement from 6,500 people in CTA’s experience is unprecedented. We have been involved in numerous large scale consultations in recent years and even where the subject matter has been controversial, involvement from one or two thousand people is generally considered as a major success. The scale of involvement in the Giant’s Park consultation has undoubtedly emanated from the fact that the proposal provides a unique opportunity to develop an unusually large stretch of land, albeit a former landfill site, close to the centre of Belfast City.

  • POP012 Topic Paper: Tourism
    POP012 Belfast LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2020-2035 Tourism Topic Paper December 2016 Executive Summary Context Belfast has become a significant tourist destination attracting 9.5 million visitors and contributing £430 million to the economy in 2013 and supporting 17,319 tourism jobs across the Council area. The unique natural heritage of the Lough, Lagan Valley Regional Park and Hills are significant environmental assets and its cultural resources give it enormous potential to drive the tourism economy and provide employment. The City is a major gateway through the sea, the airports, road and rail network to the wider region and UK facilitating visitors and tourists. Major growth markets include business trips furthered by new conference facilities, short break leisure and cruise tourism. Belfast Tourism Strategy aims to strengthen the hospitality and service sectors and develop new tourism attractions to ensure the City has the capacity to compete and highlights the importance of marketing and reputation. Belfast has a distinctive cultural scene with many events and festivals and a vibrant evening economy centred on the Cathedral Quarter and a unique built heritage and industrial heritage which has facilitated attractions and the hotel industry. The plan will need to consider how to promote accessibility whilst protecting the City’s cultural, man-made and natural assets.

  • Belfast Integrated Strategic Tourism Framework Appendix 1
    Appendix 1 BELFAST TOURISM: GATEWAY TO THE FUTURE Titanic Signature Project illustration Crumlin Road Gaol showing visitors on a tour The view from Belfast Hills Waterfront Hall and the Lagan An Integrated Strategic Framework for Belfast Tourism 2009-2014 BELFAST: A LEADING CITY TOURISM DESTINATION AND GATEWAY In recent years, Belfast has built up a reputation as an international destination for city tourism visits. It has also become a key gateway for tourists visiting Northern Ireland and the whole of the island of Ireland. Latest figures suggest that visits to the city are worth up to £500m per year for the local economy, supporting 10,000 jobs in the Greater Belfast area. In 2008, the city attracted 1.6m staying visits, 5.5m day visits and 64,000 cruise passengers (and crew). To build on the momentum achieved so far, the priority now is to raise Belfast’s tourism to a higher level. It has the potential to offer much more to visitors and to attract them in much greater numbers. By doing this, tourism will make an even greater contribution to the local and wider economies and enhance the benefits it generates for businesses, citizens and communities. Belfast has seen much change in the last 10 years. Its economy has blossomed and its physical appearance has been reshaped in many parts. It is now better placed to perform its role as Northern Ireland’s regional driver than has been the case at any time in its post industrial history. With this up-turn in fortunes, Belfast has renewed confidence as a business hub and as a contemporary urban visitor experience.
