  Welcome to the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival - The Teenage Years. Yes, this year the festival enters the terrible teens with all the mood swings, irrational logic and fleeting, intense passions that that entails. And that's just the CQAF Board.....

Like any precocious 13 year old, there?s never a dull moment. Most recently, our Laganside funding was suddenly cut, then dramatically restored - thanks to a terrific lobbying campaign and a bit of common sense.

Yet it remains a volatile time. Funding is precarious, sponsorship is in decline and larger, more commercial festivals are marking out the territory. Yet with the in-built sense of righteous ire of every teen, we'll keep on doing what we do best - trying to make great events happen at prices most can afford. At this difficult age, sometimes it comes easy,sometimes it's bit of a slog, but it always feels worth it in the end.

So, who?s coming to our 13th birthday party then? Well, how about John Cale, Death in Vegas, Fatoumata Diawara, Mark Thomas, and of course, The Undertones - just for starters. You'd travel far to come across a line-up with names as great and diverse as these. Altogether now 'Teenage dreams so hard to beat...?'
