For many years there has been a close link between our very own Belfast City and the iconic music city of Nashville. The region’s connection with Tennessee dates from the Scots-Irish settlement of the area in the eighteenth century to the diverse relationships and cultural ties that link Belfast and Nashville today. Belfast has been an official sister city of Nashville, since 1995 in a partnership focusing on social projects, education, and musical and cultural exchange.

Country music icon Kris Kristofferson makes a hugely welcome return for four solo acoustic shows this June, including two in Northern Ireland.
On the 24th of March Nathan Carter will return to the SSE Arena in Belfast, this time he’s bringing along a few special surprises. Not only will his wee brother on stage with him, but legendary bluegrass group Hayseed Dixie’ will also be performing at the event. Hayseed Dixie, who played the Belfast Empire last night are an American band which began in 2001 with the release of their first album, A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC. The band performs a mixture of cover versions of hard rock songs and original compositions in a style that is a unique fusion of bluegrass and rock music and they are acknowledged as the creators of the musical genre “Rockgrass”. The band’s name is a linguistic play on the name of the band AC/DC.
The Mavericks is a name you might of not heard since their single ‘Dance The Night Away’ was in the UK charts in 1998, spending a respectful 18 weeks in the chart and peaking at No. 4. However, to anyone who has followed them closely, you’ll know they’ve had a very vibrant history featuring many ups and downs, twists and turns and next week, their path leads them to Belfast, to the Limelight. As they prepare to take to the stage on Tuesday 5th February, we take a look back and perhaps take a moment to give the band the recognition they deserve.
