Vintage Band Stiff Little Fingers Bring Sounds of the Punk Generation to Warrington
Vintage band Stiff Little Fingers are to bring the sounds of the punk generation to Warrington's Parr Hall this autumn.
After many studio albums and countless tours, the band are finding themselves more in demand than ever; they are currently working on a new album with many of the songs being debuted at live gigs, to a tremendous response from the fans.
Stiff Little Fingers (SLF) were formed in 1977 in Belfast, Ireland and along with the likes of The Clash, Sex Pistols, The Jam, Buzzcocks, The Undertones, Sham 69 and The Stranglers they were at the forefront of the punk movement.
SLF's signature style comprises lyrics that meld the personal and political, music that combines the energy of punk with infectious hooks, and delivery that rings of honesty and commitment.
Their live shows continue to be special events of energy and power and, though now focused on their new material, the band continues to play the old favourites at gigs.
Tickets for the performance at Parr Hall on Saturday 7 October 2017 are on sale now.
Pyramid and Parr Hall are two of the North West's leading arts and entertainment venues for music, comedy, dance, drama and much more. The venues have played host to big name acts including John Bishop, The Stone Roses, Billy Ocean, Jools Holland, and Peter Kay, to name a few.
Parr Hall is a listed building and has been a long standing feature of Warrington's cultural scene since its opening in 1895. It is a medium sized concert venue with 1000 seats.
Pyramid opened in 2002, with support from Arts Council England and the National Lottery, as an arts centre focusing on smaller performances and community events. It offers a range of spaces to hire for events, weddings and conferences.
The venues are run by Culture Warrington, which is a charitable trust that was established in May 2012 to also manage Warrington Museum & Art Gallery and cultural events across the town including Warrington Festival and Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival.
