STIFF Little Fingers will be turning back the clock to the punk generation when the four-piece Warrington’s Parr Hall this autumn.
After 10 studio albums and countless tours, the band are still in demand and are currently working on a new record with many of the songs being debuted at the current set of live gigs.
The Irish band formed in Belfast in 1977 at the height of the punk movement alongside the likes of the Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Jam, Buzzcocks, Undertones, Sham 69 and The Stranglers.
They initially wrote about their own lives, growing up at the height of The Troubles in Northern Ireland, but now sing about everything from the economic collapse to depression.
Stiff Little Fingers had their big break when legendary DJ John Peel started playing their music every night. And in 1979 they became the first band to hit the UK top 20 album charts on an independent label with their debut Inflammable Material.
Stiff Little Fingers will play at the Parr Hall on October 7. Tickets are £20. Visit pyramidparrhall.com or call 442345
