A musician who had a 30-year violin collection destroyed in the Belfast Cathedral Buildings fire says it is "scary" to think of the value of what was lost in the blaze.
Aidan Mullholand, owner of Mullholland Strings, woke on Monday morning to hear the news that his entire collection had been lost after emergency services were called to the Cathedral Quarter area of the city just after 5:40 am on October 3.
Aidan has been self-employed his entire adult life and spent countless hours restoring beloved instruments and encouraging musicians in his workshop. He told Belfast Live how he estimates that more than £30,000 of stock and equipment was destroyed by the fire.
