Live in Bellwoods

With winter nearing its end and spring on its way, I thought what better time then now to post some pictures I took of Ryan Steels and Tom Grant of Olympic Island performing a set, in Trinity Bellwoods, last summer during a Live in Bellwoods filming for Live in Bellwoods NXNE. I've been meaning to post these for quite some time, so I'm happy to finally share them with you.

The Guinness Factory

Last year, I went on a trip to Scotland to visit one of my closest friends. While I was there we made a short trip to Dublin, Ireland. These are some pictures from our tour of the Guinness Storehouse, a tribute to all things Guinness. The Storehouse includes six different floors of displays and exhibitions including a tasting bar and the highest bar in this part of Dublin called Gravity Bar which provides a 360-view of Dublin.

The Guinness Storehouse

Atrium Entrance.

"This is the Storehouse where, for almost a century the magic process of fermentation took place. Construction began in July 1902. For years later, fermentation began and continued until 1988."

At the bottom of the glass atrium, the 9000 year lease that Arthur Guinness signed on the St. James' Gate Brewery in Dublin.

Bottle Display

It says: "In a way, this whole building is an archive, containing everything from ancient legal documents to locomotives. But its difficult to display over 250 years of history at the same time so much of it is stored, catalogued and preserved."
