ULSTER HALL

A beautiful music hall facade dating from 1862, with its black cast iron and glass porch and saucy saloon tunes. The work of architect William J. Barre is a mythical place for the Irish, both musically and politically, and the symbol of a place of "resistance". Indeed, the "grande dame" of Belfast has seen the Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, U2... as well as Charles Dickens, Churchill and Carson, and even Sinn Féin, which in 2002 gathered 2,000 people to sing The Soldier Song, the Irish anthem.
