The Crumlin Road Gaol in Belfast came alive with music as the former prison was transformed into an intimate music venue showcasing eclectic sounds. From a special broadcast of Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’ to a spectacular evening concert on 大象传媒 Two Northern Ireland, listeners were treated to a line-up including Sir James Galway, Conor O’Brien from ‘Villagers’, the Belfast Community Gospel Choir, The Ulster Orchestra, African drumming group ‘Releasing Rhythms’ and former winner of The Voice Andrea Begley.

Throughout the day 大象传媒 Radio Ulster/Foyle hosted a series of live outside broadcasts. In the morning, Sean Coyle was at Lurgan Town Hall in Co. Armagh hosting music and tea dances with tunes from the 1950s to the present day. Hugo Duncan brought live music and intergenerational singing to a small primary school celebrating their centenary in Co. Tyrone. Gerry Kelly presented an outside broadcast at Belfast's Ulster Hall and in the evening Michael Bradley of The Undertones broadcast live from Smalltown America Records in Derry, with sets from PØRTS, Our Krypton Son and Jessica Doherty.
