Brink! Stories
Festival of Flax

Lughnasadh Circles: Ancient Ritual, Living Sound
From 4.10pm on Saturday 8th August, Belfast composer and sound artist Rory Friers will set in motion a five-hour ambient composition inside The Commons at Ballynafiegh Church on the Ormeau Road. The piece will unfold slowly — not as a concert to attend, but as a space to inhabit. Throughout those five hours, a curated series of sessions will weave through the sound — musicians, lyricists, vocalists, and improvisers joining the piece at intervals, each bringing something distinct, together forming something larger.
Thanks to everyone who made 2024 such a success for Brink!
