Urban Hymns

I'mblogging live from the queue outside the Urban Hymns event at May Street Church. My BBC colleague Mark McCleary has just said, perhaps a little too loudly: "I can't remember the last time I queued for a church." And I can't remember a longer queue for a Belfast Festival gig. Stuart Bailie has told me who their secret guest performer will be, but I shouldn't reveal his identity until he's on stage. We can say that Foy Vance -- one of my favourite performers -- will take to the stagesoon with his version of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah.' That prospect almost makes this queue bearable.
