POPULAR band, Stiff Little Fingers, will be returning to the Cheese and Grain to perform a very special live show on Friday 3rd August.
They will be joined by the likes of Ghost Of The Avalanche and Far-Que, who are both local Frome bands, for a memorable night.
Stiff Little Fingers were formed in 1977 in Belfast, Ireland. Along with the likes of The Clash, Sex Pistols, The Jam, Buzzcocks, Undertones, Sham 69, Stranglers, et al – Stiff Little Fingers were at the forefront of the punk movement.
They wrote initially about their own lives, growing up at the height of The Troubles in Northern Ireland, in songs like “Suspect Device” and “Wasted Life”. In November of ’77, they released those two songs on their own Rigid Digits label, and sent a copy to BBC Radio One DJ John Peel, who started playing it every night.
Using the band’s rich musical foundation as a building block, the time has come to bring the newest chapter of the band’s music to the world. The new songs, penned over the last decade, show a definite musical growth in the band. The result is the band’s latest release – No Going Back was released in March 2014.
They will be playing the Cheese and Grain on Friday 3rd August from 7pm. Tickets are £23.10, available from https://tinyurl.com/ ydfrx9kf
