Over the course of the past four years Northern Ireland has come on leaps and bounds in terms of tourism, theatre, concerts, festivals and entertainment; and so have we!
If you haven’t been with us from the start, here’s a quick crash course in what you might have missed:
Sister/brother wonder-team Laura and Chris Caldwell created PastieBap.com in 2011 as an excuse to legitimize the sheer amount of time they spend at gigs/plays/festivals/restaurants/pubs and events around Northern Ireland. We’ve been on Blogger, Wix and WordPress; gone from weekly posts to daily posts; and much to Chris’ joy, we’ve even branched into the world of podcasting along the way.
Almost four years later we’re stepping things up a bit with this snazzy new website. We’ve got a new logo, a simpler design and we’re adding two new types of articles to spice things up a bit: Lifestyle and Geek. The lifestyle section will encompass fashion, beauty, lifestyle and more, whilst the geek section will be a wonderland of everything nerdy from books, movies and television to technology and science.
We can’t go five minutes without checking our phones/laptops or tablets and we bet you can’t either. There’s always a funny cat video to be watched or a monotonous list article to be glanced at, so we’ll be surprising you with a few fun things like guest authors and more global topics to help keep things interesting.
If we’ve come to realise anything in our time at PB HQ it’s that Global Is Local — the world is both a smaller and a larger place than it once was and Northern Ireland is finally, justifiably a contender. With that said, we’d like to welcome you to the latest imagining of our wee website and we’d love to see you on the next leg of our quest to broaden both our own horizons as well as your own.
