The full month and how to get a gig

The Name

Ballymoney Street

The Front Page is named after the newspaper office that once stood next door.

The walls are still hung with framed front pages of famous headlines, which is either a history lesson or a good way to settle an argument, depending on the night.

  • Had my sisters 40th birthday party in The Front Page, we hired the room upstairs which has facilities for karaoke and it's also set up where we could play our own music. Brian and the team were more than accommodating
