Nerve Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nerve Centre is an entertainment venue, that was established in 1990 as an environment for youth culture in Derry, Northern Ireland's second largest city. It hosts popular music, film, video, animation and interactive multimedia. The Nerve Centre promotes creative collaboration between artists and tries to provide a cultural outlet for many young people who feel excluded from what is traditionally regarded as the "arts sector". The Nerve Centre has recently hosted gigs by such bands as Fightstar and The Zutons have performed. Snow Patrol played in their early days. The centre was also host to Irelands first Anime convention in 2005, Tomo-Dachi. The Nerve Centre is the base of auditions for Derry bands when auditioning for the BBC's ATL Rock School. The Instinct Festival is an annual festival which takes place throughout the city. It is a celebration of the arts and is free to all youth. Workshops that test the imagination and expand on peoples' appreciation for the arts are on show for youth under 18.
