This week at the University of Liverpool with special live band Stiff Little Fingers.
It wasn't long ago that this Belfast band were sticking together the picture bags for their own records, and before that had trouble finding a venue to perform. So they hired a hotel function room on the pretext of a 21st birthday party, persuading patrons in the car park to 'contribute' to the invitation cards The same enterprise prompted them to form their own label to release 'Suspect Device', a debut single showing their capability of producing an explosive sound.
