FEATURE: Fame is only a click away for local talent
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010
If you have a creative idea that you want to broadcast, the internet is becoming more and more lucrative, and with sites to share videos, music and your written thoughts, there are endless chances to connect with a worldwide audience. This is especially handy when you are stuck on an island far from the glamour of Hollywood, as I assume most Gown readers are.

COLUMN: Clarissa Long explains it all

The enormous Queen’s University with its silent students and swapping those short New York minutes for Belfast hours -
I love New York City. I love walking in a group of hundreds of people, like we’re one great pack of sheep. I love the lights, the ambulances, yes, even the ‘New York Minute’ mentality. So why did I come here to Belfast? I wanted a change of scene. I’m someone who definitely likes being in their comfort zone, but I also think it’s really important to get out sometimes and live a little.
