Stiff Little Fingers 30th @ The Concorde

[Marc]

Old Mans got the tickets, best actually listen to some of their stuff properly now I guess

Anyone else going?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Great band.

I saw them support the Pogues at the Brighton Centre, when they were just emerging.

 

[Ned]

Sounds like you're in for a great night out mate

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Just watch out for the stuff 'from our new album' according to me bruv who saw them in Aberdeen recently. At the first mention of the words 'new album' sprint to the bar/bogs and beat the rush.

 

[Marc]

I've heard abit of their stuff over the years but cant name a song for the life of me, so chaps whats their "greatest hits"?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

'Alternative Ulster' is probably the one. Pretty brave to be singing in The Province in the seventies. Plus it, ahem, 'kicks ass'.

 

[Juan Albion]

Can't forget 'Suspect Device.'

Excellent band, great live.

I sense another chance to bring out my pictures of yer man from 2004:

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Suspect Device
Alternative Ulster
Wasted Life
Nobodys Hero's
Great band in their day and Jake Burns is a top bloke, but I saw them about 10 years ago and was dissapointed at the plodding pub rock style they seem to play their songs in now.
But I suppose even old punkers have to slow down at some point.

 

[Marc]

cool cheers guys, I recognise a couple of those tracks, gig should be cool...first gig since last summer

 

[Big Rob]

SEX PISTOLS AND SHAM 69, THATS GREAT MEMORIES FOR YOU

 

[Franks Wild Years]

The reissue CD's of early albums have got interviews with Jake Burns as extra tracks. Bit train spotty but quite interesting as a history lesson

Probably be down there - saw them last time around in Brighton - great stuff.

You must have caught them on a bad day - 10 years ago. I don't think 'plodding pub rock style' comes near how they play now. I've seen them throughout their career and think they still come up to scratch.

Have emailed them insisting their upcoming US tour comes north of the border again.

Sad to see that Bruce Foxton has left the band though. He'll really be missed.

 

[Juan Albion]

ooops

 

[Marc]

ready to PUNK?

I am

 

[Monkey Man]

Isn't Rick Buckler the drummer or did I dream that?

You dreamt it. But there was a Jam connection. Bruce Foxton was the bassist (hence the pictures above) but he has now left after 15 years of sterling service. He has been replaced by Ali McMordie, the original bassist, for the tour.

 

[Monkey Man]

I hope Brucie isn't planning another solo career ...

 

[Hiney]

Inflammable Material is a f***ing BRILLIANT album

 

[Beach Hut]

I am sure attila will be creaming his pants at this gig
