1978 was a golden year for British punk/new wave records, with Teenage Kicks and Top Of The Pops proving there were vibrant scenes with inventive bands outside of London and the English suburbs.
Despite the fact that lead singer Feargal Sharkey bolted from the group in 1983, the band has continued on, featuring replacement front man Paul McLoone, while the four other original members have remained.
Originating from the mid '80s, tonight’s (8 July) opening act feedtime are according to Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane grinding guitars and driving beats with an unsettling ambience.
The Undertones (Mark 1) had been responsible for four studio albums but tonight they were here to play their 1979 self-titled album in its entirety and many other tracks for these albums.
A buoyant crowd greets Derry's finest export back to Liverpool. Immediately noticeable is the absence of drummer Billy Doherty, who has been taken ill a couple of days previously.
