Public benefits
The direct benefits from the purposes include a better public awareness of the many musical achievements of musicians from Northern Ireland, leading to more interest in music and the arts. Also the public is educated in the history and heritage of the local music scene leading to a better informed community. Also benefits include more young
people taking an interest in performing, forming new bands and creating new music. They gain a better understanding of the workings of the music industry and are able to safeguard themselves. Oh Yeah raises the confidence and impact of music makers. This benefits current and future generations, plus fresh works of music. This is measured in terms of high quality music releases, critical and media acclaim and increased attendances at live events. The beneficiaries are the general public. There is no harm flowing from the purposes and no private benefit.

The Oh Yeah Music Centre is a dedicated music hub in the Cathedral Quarter, Belfast’s cultural district. It is a resource for music and the business of music. Housed in a three story building it features a free music exhibition, a café and venue space and a welcoming attitude to anyone who wants to know more about music and what it can achieve. Oh
Yeah is home to seven small businesses, plus a recording studio and affordable rehearsal rooms. The building hosts live events, workshops and training sessions, summer schemes and songwriter sessions. Various programmes are in place to grown and mentor new talent and to sustain musicians of all ages. We work with organisations such as Oxfam, Amnesty International, The Equality Commission, The Prince's Trust, Include Youth, Start 360, UnLtd and many community centres. Industry organisations such as the Musician's Union, PRS, MCPS plus Creative And Cultural Skills use our facilities. We develop new talent, release compilations of new music and coordinate events such as Belfast Music Week. A series of outreach programmes has given training to disadvantaged young people. Our vision is to bring out the best in people through music.
