Earlier this week, I was on Rock Radio UK and I picked and played ten songs that have interesting storys behind them.
If you want to know the story behind them, you'll have to listen to the show! Apart from one song, that is. I talked so much I ran out of time and didn't tell the story of Stiff Little Fingers by The Vibrators. The song itself has not got a back story I'm aware of. However, a bunch of young herberts in Northern Ireland were putting a band together and were stuck for a name. They had just bought London Girls, a single by The Vibrators and when they played the B-side, which was Stiff Little Fingers, Jake Burns said "That would be a great name for a band". So an obscure B-side from a single that wasn't a hit, took on a whole life of its own! There you go
And just a reminder, The False Dots are a playing live at The Dublin Castle next Sunday, 2nd November at 8pm. Please come down.
