Belfast

Asked to write about something that defined a city we knew it came to me that Belfast was known for it's religious divide and its renowned hospitality - a strange contradiction that such friendly people should pose such a threat to each other and that so many years of misery could be caused by faith in a loving god...  It brought back memories - from my youth - 3 specific ones oddly enough - a shamrock of memories - a triptich and so I wrote them down more or less without embellishment and the became The Belfast Triptich now at The Linnet's Wings and very beautifully presented.

'Does she have to do that?'   'Maybe if we ignore her she'll go away!'
