Celebrating Ottilie – A Night Honouring Northern Ireland’s Jazz Icon

The MAC, Belfast | Friday 7 November 2025 | 7:00pm to 9:30pm

A special evening of live music will take place at The MAC this November to celebrate the life and legacy of Ottilie Patterson, one of Northern Ireland’s most extraordinary jazz and blues voices.

Once overlooked, Patterson’s remarkable story is now firmly back in the spotlight thanks to a recent double band documentary and an upcoming new play by Richard Clements.

The event will feature performances from four of today’s most captivating artists Dana Masters, Siobhan Brown, Winnie Ama and Suzanne Savage each bringing their unique voice and spirit to Patterson’s music. Backed by a house band of top local musicians, the line up will reimagine her songs and pay tribute to a trailblazer who paved the way for women in jazz and blues.

Following its successful debut during Sound of Belfast 2023, Celebrating Ottilie now returns to The MAC for what promises to be a moving and powerful night of music.

Doors: 7pm
Show: 7:30pm to 9:15pm
