The Oh Yeah music centre is a former bonded whiskey warehouse in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter, Belfast's cultural district. It measures 14 500 square feet over three floors and features a performance space, a drop-in area, office units, a privately-run recording studio and exhibition space & has hosted live events with the likes of Elbow, Gary Lightbody, Tim Wheeler from Ash, Duke Special, Foy Vance, Iain Archer, James Walsh from Starsailor, Lisa Hannigan and Jello Biafra. They have worked with organisations such as Oxfam, Amnesty International, The Equality Commission, The Prince's Trust, Include Youth, Opportunity Youth, UnLtd and Common Purpose & as a recognized charity has produced a series of outreach programmes which have provided training to disadvantaged young people in the fields of music photography, drumming and DJ skills.

Loaf Catering will come on board for an initial period while the in-house café initiative, undertaken by both Loaf and the Oh Yeah Centre is developed, offering their unique brand of home-made catering produced in-house using only the freshest locally sourced ingredients & gourmet coffee selection.

Maeve Monaghan, Loaf Catering Chief Executive says “I’m delighted to come on board with this project, the Oh Yeah Centre’s vibrant cutting edge & contemporary feel fits well with Loaf Catering’s own ethos, and with a social enterprise element at both organizations core we feel this is a partnership that can go from strength to strength in the future”

The Loaf Catering/Oh Yeah Centre café opened its doors early in June 2009, so whether you’re a Rock or Coffee connoisseur why not pop along and sample the relaxed friendly atmosphere while viewing the exhibitions…and who knows, you may well get to see or bump into the next Van Morrison while there!
