Esteemed Northern Irish band Ash are set to receive an Oh Yeah Legend Award this November 11th, followed by a live performance at The Mandela Hall.
After the award is presented as part of the 2016 NI Music Prize ceremony, the Downpatrick-born band will perform their debut album ‘1997’ (released twenty years ago) in its entirety.
Oh Yeah Music Centre CEO Charlotte Dryden says, “Ash have played a major part in the story of Northern Irish music and in the story of Oh Yeah too. Our centre is named after the very song which features on their debut album, ‘1977’.
How brilliant to finally honor and celebrate the band with an Oh Yeah Legend Award. We can’t wait to hear this classic album performed live and in full on the twentieth anniversary of its release. It is going to be a momentous evening.”
The ceremony is part of the Sound Of Belfast programme, taking place from November 4th – 12th, with more information available here.
