REVIEW: Stornoway gig at the Black Box
BY ROISIN MURRAY
Stornoway’s first visit to Belfast saw them received warmly by the (at first) strangely tentative crowd which filled the Black Box on Wednesday night. The audience remained eerily silent during support act Gareth Dunlop’s opening song, as though weighing up his worth, but became livelier as the night progressed. By the time the Oxford foursome arrived on stage, they were greeted with hesitant cheers from the waiting crowd, and after beginning with recent single ‘I Saw You Blink’, a radio-friendly upbeat song about love and blue eyes, the response was more than encouraging.

OPINION: Let the voices of those who matter lead Northern Ireland football anthem debate
Even in the political cauldron of a country that we live in today, I still believe that politics should be kept out of sport. The debate surrounding the playing of the National Anthem before Northern Ireland football internationals has reached new and unprecedented heights in recent weeks, in the wake of Ulster Unionist Party officer and Northern Ireland fan Kenny Donaldson’s call for a new sporting anthem. Whilst the media and politicians have been all too quick to air their views on the contentious and emotive issue, the opinions of those who really matter, the Northern Ireland football community, are in danger of being ignored.

COMMENT: Israel, right to build?
Ban Ki-moon declared Israeli settlement in Palestine to be illegal last week. He said, “Let us be clear: all settlement activity is illegal anywhere in occupied territory, and this must stop.” Yet two days later Binyamin Netenyahu, Israel’s Prime Minister, asserted their “right to build”. There are currently plans to build 1,600 more houses in Palestinian Jerusalem on top of the 500,000 settlers already living there and in the West Bank. BY BEN FINCH
