Thanks to an invite from Belfast Music Week co-ordinator (and Oh Yeah<\/a> music centre founder)\u00a0Stuart Bailie<\/a>, there will be a Banter panel in the middle of things. Print the Legend takes place on Thursday November 14 at the Group Space in the Ulster Hall (12.30pm-1.30pm, admission free).<\/p>\n

In the here and now of Belfast\u2019s musical world, the past still rings loudly. The city has very successfully packaged its legends from the last few decades \u2013 from Van to Good Vibrations \u2013 but a danger arises when nostalgia and the feel-good moments of the past takes over. The momentum and energy required to keep a contemporary scene going is instead used to lionise and mythologise the past. It\u2019s not a case of \u201cBelfast is dead, long live Belfast\u201d, but more about teasing out if a city which often finds itself living in the past is a good place from where to plan for the future.<\/p>\n

Our guests for this discussion on the city\u2019s creativity then and now are\u00a0Sean O\u2019Hagan<\/a>\u00a0(The Observer),\u00a0Glenn Patterson<\/a>\u00a0(author, lecturer and Good Vibrations\u2019 scriptwriter),\u00a0Katie Richardson<\/a>\u00a0(Katie & The Carnival<\/a>) and\u00a0Brian Coney<\/a>\u00a0(editor,\u00a0The Thin Air<\/a>).<\/p>\n
