Welcome to episode 6 of Belfast Music City
From the intimate setting of Kyle’s Music and Poetry House, tonight we explore the next chapter in our worthy quest to explore exactly why Belfast is the quintessential music city.
Tonight Kyle is in conversation with longstanding friend David Boyd, founder and mastermind behind Belfast’s world-famous Beat Carnival, exploring how David’s desire to hear the beat of a different drum has helped shape the vibe of Belfast.
Also joining by phone is Steven Boyd, proprietor of Bangor’s Bending Sound Records, reflecting on the importance of Record Store Day and the amazing boom in vinyl record sales and how sales of physical product genuinely benefits the recording artist.
Looking further afield, we take a diversion to Colombia’s rich music culture before we round out the disparate threads of tonights episode with our usual shout-outs and hellos to listeners.
