Punks still Stiff after 35 years

veteran Irish punk band Stiff Little Fingers formed way back in 1977 and are still touting politically charged music around the country, albeit after a few line-up changes

Despite only reaching the UK Top 40 on two measly occasions - with classic early singles Suspect Device and Alternative Ulster - they retain a sizeable following over two decades after they first appeared on the John Peel Show.
