St Patricks Day Belfast

Doubled recording stitched together, beginning near Belfast City Hall where the St. Patricks Parade would usually march off from. Without the annual parade, there is only regular city noises from birds, dogs walked, vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. The second half of the recording ventures into Botanic Gardens, in which, large groups of people who were set up partying in the middle of the big empty field. There was dancing, shouting, balls kicked, mixed in with the wildlife of the park. The ending of the recording has the park staff closing some of the gates to direct people through main gates as the police came in to disperse the crowd. – Georgios Varoutsos (https://georgiosvaroutsos.com/covid-19_belfast-city-lockdown-3/)
