Hall of Fame

Now in her 21st year, the Limelight on Ormeau Avenue remains a key Belfast music venue, hosting acts from Foy Vance and David Holmes to Paul Weller, Oasis, The Strokes, Jeff Buckley and Primal Scream. And since sister venue the Spring & Airbrake opened next door 6 years ago, that roll call has grown to include the Answer, Biffy Clyro, and the Magic Numbers.  Between them, they’ve archived a wonderful collection of memorabilia and it’s now on exhibition in the Spring and Airbrake lobby and the Limelight entrance.Belfast Music
