Love that Jake wore a Norn Irn shirt on this appearance. GAWA all the way. Love SLF and have for a long time - well over 40 years.. One of the best punk bands ever.

Such a genuine punk RnR which perfectly fits with that era. It never gets old… Inflammable Material album got on fire on my stereo back then… But now like then, to me 🤘🏻

Love how they are taking the total piss out of Top of the Pops with having the drummer poorly mock drum IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE BAND, BLOCKING THEM COMPLETELY! What kings. Fucking love SLFs.

Great song. Reminds me of my teenage years !

This album is so damn great

Green Day owe you a pint, fellas.

Just before I put this on , I was listening to The Anthem , by Good Charlotte ! You can sort of understand why I played the great SLF straight after ! Saw them in Bristol , before they split , I think it was early eighties , they were sensationally good ! But my best memory of the gig was meeting them backstage after the gig , there were three of us , managed to get in the 18 plus venue , we were only kids ( bits of kids ) , and all the group were just so incredibly nice with us ! Unbelievable experience ! We were perhaps 13 or 14 years old ! They were just so very nice !

I must have watched this a thousand times over the years

Northern Irelands Finest!

Great singles, drummer here reminds me of John Travolta 😁

Brilliant band, always remember the statement on the sleeve of their single Alternative Ulster " Punk is dead, but we're still dying". Saw them on the Nobody's Heroes tour in 1979-80 at the Apollo theatre in Manchester. At 14 you don't really understand the politics in their songs, only when you get older you, you get them. Seen them a few times in recent years, they're still as good as ever. Jake can still knock out a tune. Love SLF.

A stunner!

Yes, Ulster Hall, Bedford Street Belfast. They were supported that night by a band called The Bank Robbers. I remember members of the audience gobbling (spitting) on the support band, most unpleasant however the bands saxophonist was amused when one of the gobs illuminated by the stage lights flew through the air and landed right in the middle of his saxophone horn.
