Trans launched to show that there was more than just tumbleweed on the streets of belfast in late July and early August. Offering a range of brilliant gigs, training in a wide variety of art forms, free seminars, exhibition and broadcating from its own radio station.

Trans is made up of a patchwork of partnerships from various groups and individuals, too numerous to mention here, all of whomm have one belief in common... Belfast shouldn't suck so much in the summer.

If you share our passion for creativity, new music and alternative arts keep an eye out at transbelfast.com for details of the full programme.

Re Radio, Best give me a call to discuss. Phone the waterfront and ask for me. Should be OK, but you'll miss A LOT.

Re DJ Courses - places available week beginning 21st and 28th July
They run from 10am to 4pm Mon-Fri, Its a full week for £50.

Pretty unbeatable really.

Ello Trans! I'm in need of a bit of help! I'm meant to be doing the radio production course, but I've had a bit of a crisis and I won't be able to come to the training week from the 14th-18th. I know how to audio edit though, and I've done recording before, so I'd probs be alright, so can I still come for the rest of the course please?

Yes you can do 2 courses if they don't clash - Aerosol and DJ will work

There are spaces for everything except Photography and Fashion, which have sold out, although there a couple more close to the edge so don't hang around - Our Box Office is 028 9033 4455.

Our courses are open to 15 and up, although if you're 14 and you're really keen we will listen to you if you e-mail info@transbelfast.com

All courses run from 10am - 4 or 5pm Mon-Fri. All courses are a week apart from trans 360 courses where you get a week of training followed by 3 weeks of assignments.

Really wanted to sign up for Photography, Journalism, Comic Book Illustration or Aerosol art (yeah, you guys just have too many class courses). Unfortunately, my folks aren't cool with the staying-in-Belfast-online thing. Fair enough I suppose. I'll just head next year :D

But yeah, I definitely want to head up to a gig or three!
No chance you could spill some details on the Frank Turner one, no?

New gigs and course info!
Things are about to kick up a gear in trans HQ, with the events programme about to be released.

In fact if you’re free next Thursday we’d love to invite you to the launch of trans 08 at 12 noon on Thursday 12th June 2008 at the Penthouse Bar in The Waterfront Hall.

We’ll have contributions from Scream Blue Murmur, 2007 Lap Off Champion DJ Stray and John Shelly and the Creatures, and a wee bite to eat. Plus you’ll get to see the new venue for loads of our best gigs this year.

It’s an open invitation so bring a friend if you want.

As a special treat for those of you on the mailing list we’re giving y’all first dibs on one of our gigs which is sure to sell out. On sale now, we are proud to announce that our opening gig on Mon 14th July (a bank holiday btw) will be Los Campesinos! Not only that but we complete the line up with Kowalski, Two Door Cinema Club and Cat Malojian. Tickets for this standing gig in the Waterfront Studio are only £8.50 and like many of our gigs this year this will be an all ages event where alcohol will be available for those who are over 18. This is not been officially released yet, so don’t go posting it on any forums or anything.

Tickets through the Waterfront Box Office on 028 9033 4455

We’re also recruiting for the Urban Market and looking for contestants for the Lap Off – contact Venus on mcdonnellv@waterfront.co.uk for registration for either event

On the UAA front Photography and Fashion Design have sold out and others are going fast so don’t delay.

Finally, if you were on the UAA Akidemy courses, we have just put some of the output from the photography course on our Flickr!
