The Troubles, with music: Ulster punk and British independents

By Richard Lawrence Jordan

As the Northern Ireland 'Troubles' passed eight years and over 2,000 deaths, punk music allowed catholic and protestant youths to transcend the communal, political and sectarian conflict. Following on American and British groups (such as The Clash, the Ramones and the Sex Pistols), Ulster bands made their mark on Northern Irish society and the British music scene. Rudi, Ruefrex, Stiff Little Fingers and The Undertones were just four of hundreds who worked alongside Terri Hooley and his Good Vibrations label, to create a vibrant provincial scene, which influenced independent music and its distribution throughout the British Isles
