Music
12 Feb 15

John Smith, Prima String Quartet and Pørts, who in a previous life were Little Bears, are the attractions as Belfast's Open House Festival goes on the road next month.

With the emphasis on creating "good vibes in unique venues", you can catch them in the Town Hall, Portrush (February 28); Hilden Brewery, Lisburn (March 1); SERC Studio Theatre, Bangor (2); Analogue Catalogue Recording Studio, Rathfrilland and Yacht Club, Holywood (4).
Memorably described as "the voice of Ray LaMontagne combined with the playing of John Martyn", Smith, who's from Devon, has four albums available, all of them essential purchases.
