30 years ago, as a wee lad, this band changed my life (for better or worse). Still believe as far as pure musicianship and craft, they are the most consistently talented bands of their "genre", and last night proved it. Playing the album end to end (interspersed with newer songs), not one song was less than very good, most were great. No fat. (Excepting on the septuginarians who, btw, sounded just as phenomenal as they did 40 yrs ago from prior concert video comps).

Frontman had worthwhile stories and statements in between songs I appreciated - talking about songs written about anti-racism and brief episodes in the band's long life. It was evident, still, that these guys are playing to a crowd from another era or curious about punk stalwarts from another era. Was worth seeing what these guys were made of after 40 years. It's admirable, though certainly time to pass on the punk torch.

They are just a great fun band. If you have a chance to go, do it!

A great night with some old friends seeing a band - SLF - that set me on my musical path way back in 1979. The old and much loved Friars venue is sadly gone now. My first of many visits was for The Clash in 1980 but saw SLF there for the ‘Hanx’ gig and again a year or so later. They are the undisputed Kings of Friars so couldn’t miss this. A different venue, audience hair and waistline proportions significantly reversed since the early 80s but SLF recreated that special Friars vibe. Suspect Device, Alternative Ulster, Gotta Gettaway - they don’t change. Great songs are great songs so while venues are lost and hairstyle choices dwindle the Songs Last Forever. To Jake and SLF....Hanx!

Another fantastic show from SLF They never fail to make the evening amazing, I first saw them in 1982 and this was my daughters 6th time seeing them. A band not to be missed.

I never imagined that I would see a SLF show! I felt like a teenager again!
