anorthernsoul Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 The Management of acclaimed Irish punks Stiff Little Fingers have expressed an interest in the band coming to the North Isles this October. We are currently looking at venue availability and capacity for this event. Are there many Shetlinkers interested in seeing SLF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachcaster Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hmmm, let me think about it for a second.... Hell yeah!!!! That will be another tick on the "things to do before I die list" Missed them when they were in Aberdeen a few years back, but won't be missing them if they come up, providing I get a ticket.

tommytom Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Yup I'm in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Perhaps....It depends on how the 2011 sound compares to the circa 1980 sound. I'll YouTube research later when the insomnia has kicked in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joesg Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I've seen SLF 8 or 9 times noo, used to go through every year to Paddy's day gig at Barrowlands, the last time I saw them was in Edinburgh about a year and a half ago and it was the best performance so far. Different line up, no Bruce Foxton and I preferred Dolphin Taylor's drumming but the current band are far tighter than any incarnation I've seen. I keen I have a biased opinion but I really canna wait and fingers crossed (heehee) we can get a suitable venue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anorthernsoul Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Unfortunately it looks very unlikely Mareel will be open in time for this gig to take place there, currently talking to Clickimin to see if date will fit in with them in October.

north Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 So when is Mareel opening now then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joesg Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Contractors should be announcing a handover date in the next week or so. This thread isn't about Mareel though, SLF will not be playing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
