Special Events for APRIL

Howl*

Friday, 2^nd April, 10pm till late, entry fee

The Pavilion Bar, 296 Ormeau Road

Howl is Belfast's monthly alternative music queer club night and it's been going from strength to strength. After an extended summer break, Howl is at a new venue - The Pavilion Bar on the Upper Ormeau Road, where it'll do its thing on the first Friday of each month. Ruth from Howl has the details:

The venue may have changed but the HOWL ideology remains the same. HOWL inhabits a universe a million light years from the commercial gay scene. HOWL is a space for queer folk and their friends who get off on a different kind of beat.

The music will remain an eclectic mix of indie, rock, funk, hip hop and a bit of whatever, brought to you by people who love the tunes as much as you do. On top of that there’s the free HOWL ‘Zine, bringing you the best in avant garde nonsense with a queer bent.

Check out the Howl website or email the organisers for details of upcoming events.

The Howl monkey says it best:
