Memorials in Belfast

Hi I’m Sam Halleron and welcome to my Echoes walk on the punk movement in Belfast. With this walk I want to take you through the history of the punk movement in Belfast and its evolution from the 1970s to modern day. With each location you’ll get a bit of information on the music, fashion and notable punk figures associated with these locations.

Two years ago I moved from Liverpool to Belfast, and in that time I have discovered many links between the two cities. This sound walk is your own private tour of Belfast but from a Scouser's perspective as you uncover the intertwined history of both cities.

Welcome to this audio walk exploring the historic pubs of Belfast. Join me on a journey through time as we visit iconic venues like Kellys Cellars and six other historic pubs of Belfast city. So join me on this journey through the heart of Belfast's pub culture along with the valuable recollections of Gary Law, journalist from the Belfast Telegraph and author of 'Historic Pubs of Belfast. Start your audio walk at Kellys Cellars and follow the route along the purple circles .​ As you arrive at each stop, the GPS in the map will trigger a new story, taking you on a journey through time and uncovering the history behind each pub.Be transported back in time to an era and discover the unique architecture, and stories that make each of these pubs a beloved part of Belfast's cultural heritage. ​ You can access the route map and follow along with the audio walk at your own pace, immersing yourself in the rich history and vibrant atmosphere of these iconic pubs.

Three Terrifying Tales set in Belfast

What you need: Mobile phone + headphones/earphones Instructions: Go to one of the 17 locations on the map (listed below), walk into the circle, and audio will play (can press pause/play also). Description: During a global pandemic, countries and cities have become literal ghost towns. Once flustered with sounds from human activities, it has now been overtaken from the once subtle industrial, urban, and natural sound environments. Recording multiple points during the lockdown, we are able to chronologically experience the differences imposed by Covid-19 restrictions and how these spaces have changed from the start of the global pandemic. The recordings focus on periods of Lockdowns (1-3), the Exit Strategies (Summers 2020 and 2021), as well as the Removed Restrictions. Currently, there are 78 audio files on the map and 17 areas recorded: 1. Albert Memorial Clock 2. Arthur Square 3. Belfast City Hall 4. Botanic Gardens 5. Cathedral Quarter 6. Church Lane 7. Commercial Court 8. Dublin Road 9. Great Victoria Street 10. Laverys Bar Belfast 11. Lisburn Road 12. Queen’s Arcade 13. Queen’s University Belfast 14. Shaftesbury Square 15. St-Anne’s Cathedral 16. The Entries 17. Bridge Street This project reflects through an auditory and sonic art perspective how the city sounds like without the presence of humans or the normal amount of human density in popular areas in public spaces of Belfast.
