The Oh Yeah Music Centre at 15-21 Gordon Street is a not-for-profit cornerstone of Belfast's music scene, housed in a former bonded whiskey warehouse in the Cathedral Quarter. Since opening in 2007 it has combined a 290-capacity performance space with a drop-in area, office units, a recording studio and a music exhibition celebrating Northern Ireland's heritage (Snow Patrol, Van Morrison, Stiff Little Fingers and more). The programme runs gigs, showcases, music conferences, workshops and record fairs, supporting both emerging and established artists with rehearsal and recording facilities and development schemes. The room carries a full Setmixer live-capture rig so acts leave with multitrack recordings of their set, and it won Music Week's Grassroots Venue 'Spirit of the Scene' Award in 2024.
