An evening of music in Belfast city centre has prompted a powerful reflection on the city’s past, according to a Belfast Telegraph opinion article.

Journalist and columnist Ivan Little wrote that he stood among thousands of people near midnight, nine days before publication, listening to music by Lunasa during the Fleadh.

The article contrasts the celebration with the violence that shaped Belfast’s history. Little said the capital was showing “her best face to the world” while he reflected on the thousands who had been killed.
