Learn about the surprising intersection of African American and Irish history through North Star, an immersive live music event held at The Dead Rabbit (30 Water Street) on Wednesday, June 19.
Inspired by social reformer, abolitionist, orator, and writer Frederick Douglass and his visit to Belfast in 1845, the two-part event will feature live performances from singer Winnie Ama in bar's Taproom Extension from 4pm, while The Occasional Room will play host to a specially commissioned playlist of tracks inspired by Douglass’ love of the violin and conversation exploring African American and Irish culture starting at 7pm. The special evening is free to attend, but you can reserve your spot over on Eventbrite.
