Belfast Rocking To First 'Big Gig'

A new series of gigs is being added to the local music scene next week.

Northern Ireland's number one entertainment guide, The Big List, is set to launch The Big Gig. Joining forces with the 'movers and shakers' in Northern Ireland's music scene, The Big Gig is said to be shaping up to be a major calendar event that will be putting some of the freshest music on stage.

Beginning with a bang on 24 April, and hosted in the Spring and Airbrake in Belfast, both established and undiscovered talent will be given the chance to break through the glass ceiling by being given a major platform.

The first event will feature the daring math rock of ex-We Are Knives band the Continuous Battle Of Order.

The two piece have already been causing a stir despite only playing a handful of gigs in their new guise, and are known to get up to all kinds of unusual musical mischief during their chaotic performances.

Black Bear Saloon are one of the biggest names in heavy rock in the city at present, and are known for their thumping approach.

The band are also born of the ashes of some big Belfast bands in the recent past, and have been on a accelerated charge to the top since their formation.

Comply or Die are a punk band with more attitude and aggression than a hungover Mike Tyson.

Big List Editor, Damien Whinnery (pictured) said: "With only £4 entrance fee and drink promotions on the night, it'll also be an inexpensive way to check out some of the most innovative and future big talent this city has to offer."
