Stiff Little Fingers, Newcastle O2, 19 Mar 11


53 and still f''ing ANGRY


It was a raucous evening at Newcastles' O2 Academy last night, as punk legends stiff little fingers smashed their way through a great set of old and not so old songs. It was the first time I'd seen SLF since 1993 ~ and Jake was slightly more portly than last.

The aging crowd were certainly up for it and was possibly the most moshed mosh pit I've been in for a long while. Cracking stuff!


The set started with "go for it" played as the introduction track - and the crowd went mental! While newer songs were well received, it was the early material that created most moshing... and tonight there was a lot of the aforementioned mosh ~ nobody's hero, wasted life, tin soldiers, fly the flag, and suspect device...


The encores brought in "johnny was" , a cover of "I fought the law" and to complete the show - "alternative ulster". Pure Class.
