Music journalist Stuart Bailie will open the event with a talk about the record’s inception and will introduce each track. Two performances on Saturday Jan 5, 2008: Live at the Black Box, Belfast, 2pm; and Live at the Oh Yeah building, Belfast, 8pm. Tickets £10 from http://www.cqaf.com or +44 (0)2890 23 2403
