Songs in the key of Fleetwood Mac
Songs in the key of Fleetwood Mac
The harmonies. The guitar. The songs you never forgot.
Few bands have written themselves so deeply into people's lives as Fleetwood Mac. From the electric blues of the early years to the sun-drenched California sound that swept the world, theirs is a catalogue that has soundtracked first dances, long drives, and everything in between.
Songs in the Key of Fleetwood Mac brings that music back with the care and craft it deserves, the guitar tones, the layered harmonies, the moments that made those songs stick. This isn't a karaoke run-through. It's a genuine celebration of one of rock's most enduring bodies of work, performed by musicians who love it as much as you do.
Whether Rumours is worn into your memory or you're coming to it fresh, this is the kind of show that reminds you why live music matters.
Fringe Events
Ossia Music School Rockschool
Saturday 12th September - 2pm
FREE EVENT
Cresent Arts Centre
2-4 University Rd, Belfast BT7 1NH
Every year, the Belfast Guitar Festival opens its stage to the students from Ossia Music School, who never fail to make everything worthwhile. This is that moment.
The Rockschool performances puts the next generation of Belfast guitarists in the spotlight. Young musicians who’ve spent the year building their chops, finding their voice, and learning what it means to play with other people. No backing tracks. No safety net. Just guitars, amplifiers, and the kind of nervous energy that turns into something electric the moment the first chord lands.
Workshop: Modes & Scales with Paul McMordie
FREE EVENT
5a Sandown Road, BT5 6RT
Saturday 12th September - 2pm
Modes and scales have a reputation for being the dry, theoretical end of guitar learning. Paul McMordie's workshop will change that.
Drawing on four decades of teaching experience at Ossia Music School, Paul cuts through the confusion and gets straight to what matters not just what modes and scales are, but where they live in real music and how to actually use them when you're playing.
Whether you've been avoiding this territory for years or just want to finally make sense of it, this is a workshop built around the way guitarists actually think and learn. Expect clarity, practicality, and more than a few moments where things that seemed complicated suddenly aren't.

Some congregations meet on Sunday mornings. This one meets on Sunday afternoons and it's louder.
