A Little Words About Us

A Culture That Brings Us Together

We believe that music, song and dance can help us understand where we come from, appreciate the experiences of others and imagine what we can achieve together.

Through our work in Belfast and beyond, Footnote Productions aims to preserve and celebrate traditional Irish art forms while creating new opportunities for cultural exchange, artistic collaboration and community connection.

By sharing our stories, exploring our histories and celebrating our creativity, we hope to contribute to more connected, understanding and inclusive communities.

Our Story

Rooted in Tradition. Connected Through the Arts.

Established in Belfast in 2023, Footnote Productions brings together an accomplished collective of musicians, dancers and creative practitioners with a shared passion for Irish culture and the power of the arts to connect people.

Our dancers have performed, choreographed and headlined productions around the world, both collectively and individually, including internationally recognised Irish dance shows such as Riverdance, Lord of the Dance and Irish Celtic.

Our musicians bring equally diverse experience, having shared stages with celebrated artists including Lou Reed, Nancy Griffith and Sting.

Bringing these experiences together in Belfast, Footnote Productions was founded with a clear purpose: to use music, song, dance and the arts to bring people together, celebrate cultural heritage and encourage a greater understanding of one another.

We believe that culture is something to be shared. Through our work, we aim to create opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to connect through the traditions, stories and creative expression that shape our communities.
