SATURDAY, March 15th - Limelight2, Ormeau Avenue, Belfast: timeline 5pm to 9pm. Schedule: punk, rock, alt and metal. All served with panache, passion and pride, and a pity that more were not there to revel in it all.

The Organ Grinders, A Little Bitter, and all the way from France, 7 Weeks, provided the entertainment at The Distortion

THERE is something vital, visceral and filled with a love of life that sits askance with the perceived image of punk rock. But those at Belfast's Ulster Hall on Friday (March 14th) saw Stiff Little Fingers and The Defects explode preconceptions and delighted a crowd ranging from teenagers to fifty-somethings.

_{They say you shouldn’t judge a book (or album) by its cover and generally I wouldn’t. However, I must say that the cover for “Tattooed Woman” by Miracle Master is pretty cool and I really wanted the album to sound great too. Happily, it only took one listen to discover that the content more than lived up to expectation.  If you listen to my shows you’ll already have heard a few tracks. The album was released on 7th March on the Goldencore Records label and is being promoted through Rock N Growl Promotions.}
