TRY THE TWO-QUESTIONFind musicians to collaborate with - it sounds easy, but it can be a long and difficult task. When you start a band or join a band, you will be forgiven for thinking that it’s almost impossible to find musicians with the right attitude, the right ability, the right gear, the right age, the right availability in the right genre - all in the right place!
Sourcing musicians for your studio recording can be just as difficult. To achieve a pro recording you have to make a band work - you need the right band mix. Countless sessions have not achieved their full potential simply because members of the band wanted different things - musicians wanted their own vision fulfilled.
Of course, when you’re looking for a band it’s hard enough to find a band, but bands looking for you are having the same problems!

The city, small in comparison to other major UK cities, has a musical buzz that is impossible to escape from.
Whatever your taste in music, whatever the genre you have allegiance to, Belfast has it covered. Belfast has a rich vein of classical music running through it, Belfast is home to the very highly respected Ulster Orchestra and is of course the birth place of James Galway and Barry Douglas.
Traditional music still has a major focus in the Belfast area with several festivals being held each year. From this rich and fertile source have come not only members of The Chieftans but also The McPeakes.
The vibrant jazz scene has an energy and vigour not matched anywhere on the British music scene and has been responsible for the talents of Brian Irvine and Linley Hamilton and many more.
Rock music in Belfast has long been a great influence on the Belfast youth, it is impossible not mention or play down the influence of ‘Van the Man’ Van Morrison who went on from Belfast to find success on the world stage. Other notable success stories are Gary Moore and Rory Gallagher with more recently formed bands Ash, Sultans of Ping and Stalag 17.
The Belfast music community is alive and well covering all music genres, symphony orchestra, pop groups, jazz bands, rock bands and of course indie bands. Musicians wanted in Belfast. You can find hundreds of Belfast musicians and bands looking for collaborators at Musical Exchanges - right here, right now.

Forming bands is something that happens in every town, musicians joining together, networking and working towards putting a new project before the public, Belfast is no different and there has been no better time to form a band than now and help increase the size of the music community in your area.
Belfast is definitely a music city.
The local Belfast music scene is well supported and promoted in various online websites promoting valuable music services and helping to inform the public of upcoming gigs.
