Dear
 
CultureNorthernIrelandThis issue we celebrate two of Belfast's most significant historical sites with a reflection on the famous Cave Hill Right of Way case and a podcast tour of Belfast City Cemetery with former Lord Mayor, Tom Hartley.

Also this issue we're on the edge of our seats for the inaugural Yellow Fever Independent Film Festival, jump on the bandwagon with the Tall Ships exhibition, look forward to the Belfast Mela and visit the John Hewitt International Summer School, video camera in hand.

Finally, we review Two Roads West from the comfort of a taxi cab, give away tickets to controversial film Antichrist in our competition and a free download of Ash's stomping new single 'Return of the White Rabbit' in the blog. Turn it up. Turn it up loud!
