boxguyswife Posted January 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Is it possible to hear traditional music anywhere in Belfast in the afternoon or early evening, as we have to be nboard at 9pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks389 Posted January 16, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Interested also! On a previous visit to Ireland, but not Belfast, we found it difficult to find traditional music. Most pubs were listening to contemporary music and drinking Bud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted January 16, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Most music does not occur during the early week, but towards and at the weekend. It would also be difficult to find somewhere during the afternoon/early evening. Perhaps you could get a group together from your Roll Call and have a private seisún with these guys....... https://visitbelfast.com/partners/belfast-traditional-music-trail-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekent Posted January 17, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Hopefully a local can give you a definitive answer. My thoughts as a fairly regular visitor is that as mentioned by VMax you will struggle on a weekday for anything during daytime hours. Should you be in port on a Saturday or Sunday then pubs like The John Hewitt, McHugh's and the Dirty Onion/Second fiddle all seem to have traditional music scheduled for the afternoon/early evening (Sunday afternoon in the John Hewitt was a favourite last time but believe it may have changed hands since then) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisen Elf Posted February 16, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2023 We did a pub crawl with traditional Irish music and dinner with this company: https://www.musicalpubcrawl.com/ They also have just a pub crawl with no dinner that may fit into your time frame better. They played and talked about traditional Irish music, and we really enjoyed it. It is a quick taxi ride back to the ship. This was pre-pandemic, but it looks to be the same tour.

So please disregard my previous post unless you want to try the music in Dublin. 🥴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCJack Posted February 19, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 19, 2023 We had a band on the ship that was from Belfast. They recommended during their show to visit the Duke of York for Irish music ... (perhaps this was a paid endorsement!!) Anyway we walked by while we were in Belfast and it looked like a fun place, but we were short on time and did not stop.
