Roy Walker in Belfast November 2012

Posted on September 4, 2012September 4, 2012 by Belfast Guide

Roy Walker is one of the most well-known comedian in Great-Britain appeared in TV shows and radio programs making people lough everywhere in the English speaking countries North. Now, the goal of his big tour is to prove his humor in live, fulfilling all fans requirements. The tour starts in Ireland form the 14th of September at Theatre at the Mill, Newtownabbey. Continues on the 21st September at Ardhowen, Enniskillen, and on the 22nd September at Riverside, Coleraine when the highlight moment comes: 18th November at the Grand Opera House, in Belfast. Nice place to finish. Roy is 72 years old but it can not be seen in his interview where he said that he is looking forward to performing to home crowds, because of the special audience that even in one country, varies.

He loves passionately what he is doing. His journey began with a decision to travel London to become a professional comedian in his teenage age where he got the first performance in 1977 in the TV Show: New Faces receiving the highest marks ever given to a comedian. Then success was not far from him: appearances in more TV shows: This is your life, Phoenix Lights, I am Famous and Frightened, finally but not last: Catchphrase

The show mentioned last took so many success to Roy that he won a whole new fun base and the show was transmitted to Chris Moyles, BBC Radio 1 breakfast show in the years of 2000. In 2008, he debuts at the Edinburgh Festival.
On the personal side, he has three children who could all make great success in their careers in the world that we call: show business. Even if you do not know the Irish humor, or the British one, you just have to try it. Of course they are different from the one we have in Central Europe, but this is the beauty. Roy is ready to have fun with you now, so are you ready for Roy?

Good Belfast hotels now!

Posted on July 31, 2012July 31, 2012 by Belfast Guide

The late summer and the early autumn is a very popular time to travel and visit large cities across Europe, and Belfast is one of those. In these days, when the eyes of the world focus on London, you might sit at home and plan your visit to Belfast, and therefore we thought we could share some hotel recommendations for you. The hotels mentioned in this text are all located in the centre of Belfast and they have good prices available currently. When you visit Belfast it is important to select a hotel that has the services you need and of course a good location, and hopefully these hotels will suit you well (at least one of them).

Make sure to select a hotel with free WiFi if that is important to, as most of the hotels in Belfast have free WiFi, but you need to pay for those services.

Good Belfast hotels now!

– Hilton Belfast (*****) – Reserve room
– Europa Hotel (****) – Reserve room
– Premier Inn City Centre (***) – Reserve room
– The Merchant Hotel (*****) – Reserve room

If you would rather visit Prague instead, then do not miss out on a River Cruise in the Czech capital.

How to get from Belfast Central to city center?

Posted on July 20, 2012July 22, 2012 by Belfast Guide

I will be arriving with train from Dublin next week, and wonder how to get from Belfast Central (railway station) to the city center, using public transportation if needed?

A transfer from the railway station to the city center is included in your railway ticket from Dublin, so you can jump on any bus going from the city center of Belfast outside the railway station and travel with this. It is not really a distance, so with bus it takes 2 minutes, on foot it takes 10 minutes. Most important is to walk to the left as you get out of the railway station, follow the main road and after a while you will get to the City Hall… and then you are there, in the centre of Belfast.

Norah Jones Belfast 2012

Posted on July 16, 2012October 17, 2022 by Belfast Guide

Born in 1979 Norah Jones can still be considered a young singer in her best age, and in 2012 she will come to perform in the Waterfront Hall in Belfast. What a joy! The concert will be arranged on Thursday September 6th and we are all looking forward to see and to hear what miracles can be heard from her voice this time. She is the daugther of Ravi Shankar, and in 2002 she started her own solo carrier, which has really been taking off since then. This is proved by the fact that Norah Jones has won 9 Grammy awards, quite a big deal!

Well, now Norah Jones is coming to Belfast, and it is just to order your Norah Jones tickets right away and be prepared for this concert in the Waterfront Hall, a very modern and cool concert venue in Belfast. Our personal favorite is the Odyssey Arena, but it is better to have a packed Waterfront Hall than a half-full Odyssey Arena, so we guess that is why they chose to use this arena.
