The Pavilion Bar, 296

Howl is Belfast's

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