Well, they've dropped the music from the event title, but there will still be music[/url:3n9wmyf4]. The first band doesn't come on to three, however. I think putting in an early shift may be a good idea.

120 beers expected, though no list yet. Event homepage is here[/url:3n9wmyf4]

Might be working a day at it this year, we'll see how it goes

Last year was bigger and better than ever. A venue change this year though, its been in the Ulster Hall every year for a long period of time however its being renovated... its the Kings Hall this time around while the work is done

Sounds like a good event, must keep an eye out for the beer list.

I have managed to combine visiting friends in Belfast with this Festival for the last 3 years. Unfortunately I will not be able to make it this year.

It is a well-organised event typical of many CAMRA do all over the UK. Advised by locals I have always gone on a Friday because beer choice tends to get limited by Saturday afternoon as they start to run out. <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: -->

Unlike most I have been to in the UK - be warned those of you who don’t like LOUD MUSIC the bands vary from very good to complete ***xx but all are [b:3uukik4h]very loud[/b:3uukik4h] <!-- s:evil: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_evil.gif" alt="" title="Evil or Very Mad" /><!-- s:evil: -->


Enjoy

I like the music aspect of it, generally quiet low volume jazz for the early sessions then after 6 or so it livens up. The Rab Mc Cullough blues band are always good live, shame they aren't playing this year
