Stiff Little Fingers

Stiff Little Fingers are a punk band, originally based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, formed in 1977.

Though focused on their new material, they always play the old favorites at gigs. Jake said, "You have to strike a balance. The difficulty with a band like ourselves is to try not make it sound like a cabaret band. Obviously, it’d be very easy to go, ’Hey, here’s another old one you may remember.’ A lot of the old songs the audience greet like old friends....I suppose it’s the same as any band that’s been around for any length of time....And yes, there are nights that we don’t particularly want to play "Alternative Ulster" or "Suspect Device" because we’ve heard them ’til they’re coming out our ears. But there’s always the possibility that somebody out there has never seen the band before, never heard them."

2007 marks S.L.F.’s 30th year in the music business and plans include extensive touring (including probably a last chance to hear the majority of the band’s debut album played live !), a new album & a movie on the band directed by Don Letts including live footage & many interviews with the band, friends & fans.

SEE YOU UP THERE !
