CultureNorthernIrelandThis issue it's Happy Days as Henry 'The Fonz' Winkler comes to Belfast's Central Station, we interview The Apprentice's Margaret Mountford, look to the heavens with strange chantuese Bat For Lashes and get our groove on with Belfast-based dance company Dance United NI.

With the Lions rugby tour currently in full swing, we go back in time to South Africa circa 1974 with former team captain Willie John McBride, lace up our gloves with Barry McGuigan at the Fighting Irishmen exhibition at the Ulster American Folk Park and look forward to the Pick 'n' Mix Theatre Festival.

Also this issue, enter our competition to win a signed copy of Henry Winkler's children's book, Summer School! Who Thought That Up?, find
out why Tony Curtis got his knickers in a twist and plan you diary with
our Culture Live! events listings.
