The first time I came across him The Clash were meant to be playing Belfast but they couldn’t get insurance for the hall and they were a lot of angry people in town who had come to see them. A few of us found out they were staying at The Europa Hotel and Joe and Paul took the time to come out and talk to us. At the time, The Europa was surrounded by wire and guards and they were standing at the wire explaining why the gig was cancelled and I often think to myself, “I can’t see Phil Collins doing that”. It was a genuine respect he had for the audience and the connection that he made that made a big impression on me.

Michael Bradley, The Undertones bassist, tells of a confrontation in 1979 between The Undertones’ John O’Neill and SLF's Jake Burns: "He launched into Jake, not physically but verbally. Slagging his records, slagging the journalist writing the songs and slagging the band." Michael Bradley now describes ‘Suspect Device’ as "a great record, although at the time we weren't impressed, probably because they'd made a record before us". [8]
