ASH frontman Tim Wheeler will deliver the closing address at next week's Output Belfast & AVA Conference.

The Lyndon Stephens Closing Keynote event at The MAC on Thursday June 1 at 4pm will find the Downpatrick man in conversation with broadcaster Marie-Louise Muir to discuss the historic concert by Ash and U2 at Belfast's Waterfront Hall on May 21 1998 in support of the Good Friday Agreement referendum 'Yes' campaign.
