BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND: Pints, Punks, & Paramilitaries with Donzo.
After the huge success of our Fleadh bus tours, Pints, Punks & Paramilitaries is back for a special pre-Stiff Little Fingers edition.
Before he was named Wanderlust’s Top UK Tour Guide, Paul “Donzo” Donnelly spent four years working the door at Lavery’s during Belfast’s ceasefire years.
From punks to politicians, students to paramilitaries, Donzo had a front-row seat to one of the most fascinating periods in Belfast’s recent history, including the city’s legendary punk scene and the characters who passed through its pubs, clubs and streets.
Jump on the bus for a 90-minute tour through Belfast’s history, music, nightlife and transformation, told through the eyes of someone who watched it unfold from the doorway of one of the city’s most famous pubs.
Part history lesson, part storytelling session and part love letter to Belfast.
And because it’s SLF day, we’ll have you back at Lavery’s in plenty of time for a pint (or two) before heading on to the gig.
Saturday 22nd August
11am departure
90 minutes
Departs from Brew+Ferment beside Lavery's.
Guided bus tour + pint in Lavery’s at the end of the tour are included in your ticket price.
