Had a fantastic time at the Oh Yeah Music Centre! Such a vibrant space with a great mix of events, live music, and creative energy. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are lovely, and there’s always something interesting happening. A brilliant place to experience local talent and enjoy a memorable night out. Highly recommend!”
Last Saturday, we had the pleasure of attending the Belfast Music Tour with Steven as organised by the Oh Yeah Centre. After that, we enjoyed a drink (recommend the Oh Yeah IPA) and had a lovely chat about life and music in Belfast. You can also look at the exhibits and memorabilia of the likes of Snow Patrol, Ash, Divine Comedy, Van Morrison, The Undertones, Gary Moore to name but a few. We did not attend a gig, but it is a great venue with bar and a good size. Keep up the good work! We'll be back.
I’ve been here for two fundraisers in the past couple of weeks, and the memories are absolutely amazing. The venue is fantastic for live music... intimate, with excellent sound quality that truly enhances the experience. The staff were incredibly friendly, especially the manager, Saoirse, and the sound guy, John, who did a brilliant job. Another nice touch was that beer was served in real glasses... none of that plastic nonsense! The only downside was the nearby car park, which had a dodgy ticket machine. I paid for the time I was there, but now I’ve been sent a £60 fine today. DO NOT USE that car park! Other than that, it’s a top-notch place to enjoy live bands.
Went here to see Skaar.( Pronounced Score ) We were there early but weren't allowed in until precisely 8pm. Just as well it wasn't raining. There is a small museum with some music memorabilia and a bar and a record shop. The concert was good - very lively and energetic but it is too small a venue for the sound level to be that high. I don't think my hearing will be the same. It was a standing concert too so word up to those have trouble with that.
Brilliant live venue, super friendly staff.
Great venue, performed here with my choir. Great sound people and staff were friendly and lovely.
I hate giving bad reviews, especially because, in this case, I'm very sure that the management and staff of the Oh Yeah Centre work very hard, and are passionate about what they do. In many respects the venue is great - the display of memorabilia, for example. And the venue is probably fine for small concerts. But at the Reina Del Cid show last week there were too many people packed in. Almost all had to stand. There was no discernible anti-covid ventilation. Apologies if I've got that wrong, but the air felt very still! The stage is elevated only by about a foot, which means that unless you are in the first few rows, you really don't see very much at all. From towards the back someone of average height might see the tops of the heads of the performers. Below average height and you will see nothing at all. I am genuinely sorry to be so negative, but I don't think that's nearly good enough if you're aiming to provide a pleasant customer experience. I hate to say this because of the otherwise fine work that they do, but the Oh Yeah Centre is now well and truly off my list of concert venues.
So happy to find this place, with the 6 degrees of seperation on the rock and roll family tree. The rain in 'Belly' is better than Manchester so the music should by right be better, so too the revolutionary spirit ;) I visited Oh Yeah 3 times, the place certainly has a magic to it. The exhibition features real gems, from Divine Comedy, to Therapy, I got really excited about seeing a flyer from a gig I went to and was involved with in a display case, ahh to have collected something culturally significant. Didn't see enough about ASH or Snow Patrol (?). There was nobody during the day to work the bar or serve a coffee, (any excuse to hang out.) The sound engineer was far too much of a tis with cables for a gig, the lady at reception didn't seem to be as enthusiastic about the music and had no interest to chew the fat about music, nobody could tell me about rehersal space or jamming at the venue. They run 'Over the Hill' for older musicians, dare say according to Ed Sheeran fans this is anyone over 30 not 70 or who remember KT Tunstall :D What I am saying is the demographic from 30 & up still values music and wants to get connected. Give me job here I would help bottle the lighting.
Great venue, friendly staff with lots of music history in one place. Seating area for cafe is appreciated and the sound stage area is loud enough for the gig goers to get the experience but not isolating those who are at the cafe area and want to chat but not have to yell.
