Bruce Springsteen Belfast club night offering free tickets for NHS staff

The world's only Bruce Springsteen club night is back in Belfast this Friday.

Hungry Heart at the Empire, a night of celebrating the Boss with music and dance, are offering free tickets to NHS staff as a small token of appreciation for what they do.

The touring club night was set up by Hannah Summers, a Bruce Springsteen superfan who wanted to create a space for fans to enjoy the joy of his music.

Hannah said: "I’m a massive Springsteen fan and set up the night a few years back after being fed up of never hearing Bruce Springsteen on a night out!

"So I decided to start a night where you only hear Bruce – 5/6 hours to be exact (which barely scratches the surface!).

"The night is attended by fans of all ages and is a really liberating feel-good night out, even non Springsteen fans end up having a great time.

"We play the big hits, B Sides, live footage, rarities and most importantly – no double plays! It’s a great little filler while we wait for a Springsteen tour."

Hannah runs the blog 'Burgers and Bruce' and met her idol in Belfast back in 2013.

She added: "I live in Hastings but I spent every summer growing up in Belfast with my grandparents, so it’s always extra special to get there for a night.

"We’ve hosted album launch parties for Bruce himself and over lockdown we held a 24-hour Springsteenathon from our living room – DJing Bruce for 24 hours nonstop. We raised £32,000 for charity!

"As a thank you for NHS staff we offer free tickets to employees – they just need to go to our site and send us an email with their ID."
