So well deserved 🙌
Healthcare and other frontline workers are to receive the Freedom of the City of Belfast, to recognise their work throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
Thursday's event will feature performances by Ryan McMullan, Foy Vance, Brooke Scullion, Saint Sister, the Open Arts Community Choir, the Belfast Trust Here4U staff choir and the Ulster Orchestra. It will also include a short dedication ceremony, led by the Lord Mayor of Belfast, Councillor Tina Black.
The individual sacrifices of those working on the frontline, and the critical role music played in supporting them, will be the central themes of the evening. "It’s a chance for all of us to say thanks to those staff for their selfless courage and compassion, a message which will be especially poignant for those personally impacted by loss during the pandemic, and those whose lives have been changed.
