've always known how beautiful Belfast is, but I don't think I fully appreciated it until I left. Is it like this for everyone, or is it mainly Irish artists? Every Irish artist that writes about, sings about or paints the beauty of Ireland seems to be someone that has long since left its shores. The point is, I'm back in Belfast today and loving it. I came back last night for a gig (don't shout at me Belfast folks...it was a private BBC thing, so there were no tickets for us regular cubs) and it was just great to be walking round Belfast at night. After my gig finished I walked through town with Brian and Jackie (my managers), over to see Ken Haddock playing in the Cathedral Quarter...it was great! I always get taken slightly aback at how friendly people are here. In one sense I know it, but living in London gets you out of the way of it. Nobody really talks to each other in London, but by the time I'd got off the plane and arrived at the gig, I'd had at least three or four conversations with people I didn't know....you gotta love that!
Anyway, as much as I'd love to sit here and chat with you, I'm in the mood for a good coffee. So, I'm off to wander the streets and strike up conversations with people I don't know...

Where did you find this lovely piece of writing? Would you like to visit Ireland and England? I can tell you how you can travel for cheap while you are a student.
