PROJECT

Formerly known as Children's Express, Headliners is a UK-wide news agency producing news, features and comment by young people for everyone.

Through a unique learning through journalism programme, young people aged 8 to 19 research and write stories on issues that are important to them for publication in national and local newspapers, magazines, television and radio.

The aim of this blog, created by Maëlle Guéroult and Connor Scullion, is to let every young person from Northern Ireland express their ideas and opinions, whatever their background.

The views contained in this blog are those of the individual writer and are not necessarily endorsed by Headliners, the host school or any other partner organisation.

A bohemian rhapsody






By Alana Breen
(Headliners)





The Frames are an Irish band who have been happily established for the past 17 years and are refreshingly unique.
Their contemporary mix of Irish folk and smooth rock blends for a magical and bohemian concert.
I was lucky enough to see the band live for the second time in the Grand Opera House in Belfast - a laid back venue for a laid back band.
Frontman Glen Hansard belted out each song with pride and passion which left me with the feeling that each song was his last.
Star Star was my favourite hit of the night, closely followed by Falling Slowly in which the band were accompanied by Glen’s girlfriend Marketa Irglova.
Hansard is without a doubt a superior lyricist and an outstanding vocalist and onstage he is a master in his craft.
When The Frames return to Belfast their concert should be made compulsory for discerning music fans. And when they do come back, I will be waiting in a front row seat.
