slfjambo Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 At the end of '96 Dolphin Taylor left the band, due to family and business obligations. The new drummer was Steve Grantley, who some will remember as the drummer for Jake Burns and the Big Wheel. Ian McCallum joined permanently on guitar, balancing SLF tours with solo recordings and performances. SLF released the studio album, Tinderbox,in '97 and toured extensively throughout that year to promote it. Stiff Little Fingers released the studio album Hope Street,in two different formats in 1999. The UK release on EMI is packaged with a special The Best Of AllCD, containing remastered classic cuts from the band's entire back catalogue. The North American release on King Biscuit/Oxygen includes a second live CD, from the Newcastle Riverside concert from September '98. Said Jake Burns, "'Last Train From The Wasteland' (on Hope Street) is the first optimistic song I have ever written about Belfast, while Hope Street the album is generally more optimistic than people have given us credit for in the past." In 1999 also SLF released a live CD of all new live material, titled Handheld and Rigidly Digital, available exclusively on this Web site and at SLF gigs. Much of the material was recorded at a special Hope Street Premier Party held in London, at which the band played over two hours of new songs, rarities, plus all the favorites. In August 2003, Stiff Little Fingers released their ninth studio album, Guitar and Drum, which includes a moving tribute to Joe Strummer, entitled "Strummerville". Left to right: Ian McCallum, Steve Grantley, Jake Burns, Ali McMordie In 2006, Bruce Foxton left Stiff Little Fingers amicably, and original bassist Ali McMordie returned after 15 years. Response from the fans has been tremendous. Though focused on their new material, they always play the old favorites at gigs. Jake said, "You have to strike a balance. The difficulty with a band like ourselves is to try not make it sound like a cabaret band. Obviously, it'd be very easy to go, 'Hey, here's another old one you may remember.' A lot of the old songs the audience greet like old friends....I suppose it's the same as any band that's been around for any length of time....And yes, there are nights that we don't particularly want to play "Alternative Ulster" or "Suspect Device" because we've heard them 'til they're coming out our ears. But there's always the possibility that somebody out there has never seen the band before, never heard them."

Copyright ? 1996-2008 Stiff Little Fingers Glad too see Ali back in the band, i seen them at the playhouse during the go for it tour, and i also seen them at the odeon think it was the inflammable material tour ( might have been The Hanx Tour) its that long ago my mind cant quite recall now, but it was at the Odeon. The playhouse gig for Go For It Tour, I'm sure it was a band called The Piranhas that were the support band ? had a song called tom hark at the time. Were you at any off these gigs.

PsychocAndy Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 First band I ever saw they were supporting The Tom Robinson band at the Odo circa 1978. Disclaimer not homophobic but what a shock to find out Tom Robinson was gay. they had just released 2468 motorway and my mate Mutley begged me to go honest.
