from 'Ten Imaginary Years' page 387
On 5 September, they played Belfast as support to Siouxsie & The Banshees.
Lol: “We drove into Belfast and stopped at a police post to ask directions to the Europa Hotel. I was wearing all black at the time and l leapt out of the car and ran towards this policemen and the next thing I knew I had a gun in my side.
“That was just the start! When we arrived at the Europa, there was nothing on the first four floors except a bar and there was this 15 foot high fence all around it. It was horrific, you had to go through all these searches to get in. When we got to the Ulster Hall, we found the crew had all fallen asleep in Liverpool so there was no gear whatsoever, nothing.
So Terry Hooley, who ran Good Vibrations, scouted around all the bands that he knew and we played after The Banshees with all The Outcasts’ gear. One of their guitars disappeared as I remember and they weren’t very happy about that.”
