A Belfast City Councillor who was previously highly critical of the Belsonic festival’s effect on local neighbourhoods has praised the organisers for this year’s events.
John Kyle, Ulster Unionist Party Councillor for Titanic, at the monthly meeting of the full Belfast Council on Monday applauded the management of this year’s festival at Ormeau Park, stating the organisers showed “integrity” in their dealings with community representatives.
Councillor Kyle told the chamber at City Hall: “Last year I was very vocal in my criticism of Belsonic, the antisocial behaviour, and the significant and severe disruption that there was about the gigs. I want to say this year has seen a marked improvement.
