"Established in July 2011, The Metaphorical Boat is a Belfast based music blog dedicated to the finest music, both new and old. Music that appears on the website must pass one important test, it should float my metaphorical boat. The Metaphorical Boat is also the name of the podcast, where the captain, Christopher McBride, sits down with some of his favourite musicians over a caffeinated beverage and a delicious bun to learn more about their music, inspirations, and most importantly, how many sugars they take."
