Communion Belfast- DOUBLE BILL- Napoleon (EP Launch) & Nathaniel Rateliff
Not only is this the first Belfast Communion of 2011, but it is also the first Communion to run on a Friday rather than the regular last Sunday of every month. It is fitting that we have such a strong line up for the event, which marks our first collaboration with Out to Lunch Festival.
I am delighted to welcome back both Napoleon to the Black Box (they played during the 12th Coors Light Open House Festival supporting Lissie) and Nathaniel Rateliff to Belfast (he also played during September’s festival- twice in fact- support Low Anthem/Iron & Wine, then headlining a SOLD OUT McHughs basement).
Napoleon
Having formed in summer 2009, Belfast’s Napoleon have spent the last year and a half focusing solely on their live show. Time has come however for their debut EP, Tell Me Your Industry, which is being released by WeCollectRecords and available from the launch party onwards. We expect great things for this band, both live and on record.

Nathaniel Rateliff
Denver born Nathaniel played his sold out Irish debut as part of the 12th Open House Festival in September 2010. This debut proved that his live show matches his stunning debut album, In Memory of Loss, which was produced by Brain Deck (Iron & Wine/Modest Mouse). Having recently secured support slots with Mumford & Sons, Laura Marling, The Fray and Low Anthem, it seems clear that Nathaniel has something special.
