Trusted for 10 years

The Belfast music scene has been quietly turning out hugely influential musical acts at an enviable rate since, well… forever. The vibrant city, with its famously industrial past has produced the likes of Van Morrison, David Holmes, The Undertones, Stiff Little Fingers, members of Thin Lizzy, James Galway, Gary Moore, Katie Melua and many others.Belfast is also the home to the Ulster Symphony Orchestra. The city itself has inspired an astonishing number of songs, with artists from Orbital to James Taylor dedicating tracks to the city. The creative spirit flows freely through the city, and it is at the heart of this that Dawsons Belfast is based.The store is located on Royal Avenue, on the location of the former Marcus Musical Instruments store in the city’s Cathedral Quarter. This part of the city has become the creative hub of the city. The area has received sizable investment from the Arts Council, and the majority of the music and arts festivals take place here. What this means is that just all of the city’s most exciting musical events happen in the immediate vicinity of the store.
