En route to Glasgow as I type for saturdays gig at barrowlands.

Any other Clarets going up to see this most excellent band?

Went the year before last (the one filmed for the DVD). Seen them c.12 or 13 times everywhere between Brixton and Inverness. Knocking on, but always brilliant live.

Went to the Manchester show on Tuesday night. Support band the Rurs DC were a real bonus.

Enjoy Glasgow.

Wow.
No idea they were still going.

But so many of the old 'uns do it, why not them.
Think I've still one of there demo tapes from way back.

One of my favourite bands of all time.
When my son was learning the guitar two of the first songs he learned were Suspect Device and Alternative Ulster.
It brought a tear to my eye listening to a 12 year old boy smashing these out whilst screaming in his mic.

Is Bruce Foxton still playing the Bass with them?

Surprised they have not renamed as arthritic joints and stiff little fingers. They must be knocking on a bit now. Good to see they are still around and playing.

Bruce Foxton plays with From the Jam doing all their old stuff year on year. Seen them in Clitheroe about 7 times now at The Grand. They seem to come around every Dec or so. He did play with SLF for a time though. They are on again this year.

The Undertones were much better

Undertones now on BBC four.

Ali McMordie is back on bass.

My memory’s gone, so can anyone remember who suppported them at KGH late 70’s early 80’s? I’m sure it was someone who went on to be ‘bigger’.

Stubzy from Downham will tell you who the fingers supported at KGH 1977 master mind champ on that subject utc

Is that a Browny posting?

Stubsy from downham is who I’m At the Glasgow gig with.

And foxton is playing with “from the jam” after many years with SLF.

The dog told me you were going to Glasgow to see them enjoy from the hog NNN

I am sure I saw Another Pretty Face with SLF at KGH around this time, the frontman was Mike Scott who went on to form the Waterboys a couple of years later. Not sure if this was the occasion you were thinking of, I think it was the Nobodys Heroes tour 1980.

Notsensibles supported SLF at the Windsor Suite at King Georges Hall a few years ago.

They are playing millennium square Leeds in may with the Buzzcocks, selector and the beat

Saw them at Holmfirth last year.. With another Claret from this board.. Always a top band live. I have seen them lots of times over the years. One of my favourite bands of all time..

Top night. Seen them lots of times but gig 10 mins from my house always the best

I have seen SLF over 50 times , the last one was October at KGH ,not yet made it to the Barrowlands though . great band and brilliant live. Bobinho i think i once met you ? on a coach going to see Bruce Springsteen i noticed your Fingers shirt and we had a chat .

Re the support band at KGH from the late 70s early 80s , i remember Another Pretty Face , and The Wall , cant think of any others who went on to be well known . Im sure you will have a cracking time tonight , think i might have to pop the "Best Served Loud " dvd on and raise a glass to SLF

Is that you Steve?

No...

Good show last nite, support was “the ruts”, who played a good set.

Seen SLF all over really, and they always put it on a good gig. Ulster hall last year, that was excellent, as was the manchester ritz. Holmfirth always gets a mention so maybe that will be next years weekend away?

Gaz, yeah that was me on the coach to Springsteen. Another top class live act.
