 Dear
Alas, Belfast Festival 2009 is over. But don't worry if you missed anything - we've got reviews of all this year's highlights, including a very special closing concert.
Elsewhere, Motörhead frontman Lemmy gives us the lowdown on 35 years in rock, we meet Northern Ireland's first Olympic medallist, Gentleman John McNally,and Garbhan Downey makes the case for Derry as UK City of Culture 2013.
Finally, we've got our usual eclectic mix of reviews and features and there are tickets for the Bootleg Beatles and the Ulster Orchestra up for grabs.
Enjoy!
