A diverse audience, but with a good smattering of people like me, closer to 18 stone than 18 years of age, packed the nightclub and pogoed their way through 90 minutes of sublime music.

To say I enjoyed this gig would be a massive understatement. It was
incredible and Vivaz owner Paul Murray deserves to be congratulated for delivering the very best of entertainment here on our doorstep.

I thought the Pigeon Detectives, last October, were outstanding but to be honest SLF blew them out of the water.

SLF is an Irish punk-rock band that formed in the second half of the 1970s. The band has seen several changes to the line-up since then, but two original members, lead singer and guitarist Jake Burns and bass player Ali McMordie (who had a 15-year break), are still working their magic.

Burns had a wonderful voice 30 years ago and he's still got one now. My only disappointment of the evening was that my 16-year-old son Oliver wasn't there to hear him and what real music is like.

Burns and co took us through much of their repertoire including Nobody's Hero and Tin Soldier, signing out with Alternative Ulster.

I'm not going to pretend I'm an SLF expert – they were just around when I was around and it was great to go back to those days for a couple of hours.

One thing is for sure though – I'm going to be digging out as much of their stuff as I can over the next couple of months and my lad can wear the T-shirts I bought him and listen to a great band with me.

Well done Paul Murray. Brilliant SLF.
