Alternative Ulster???

#

Started by Electric Elvis in General Therapy? Topics

A few years back I saw a video of Therapy covering the Stiff Little Fingers classic Alternative Ulster.
Does anyone know if this cover was ever officially recorded and if so where I could get my hands on it??

Cheers,

EE

no, it was never officially recorded, but a top tune anyway - you can find it on some live-bootlegs, or on the bsides-bootleg “some of the rest” (which is rather hard to find by the way). hope that helps.

I think that it has something to do where they came from as, they have played in Belfast atleast in 1993 and 1995.

If I was at uni I could have sent it to you but I’m stuck on a 56K modem (which is driving me up the wall by the way)

Yeah, the version with Ricky Warwick is from 30/12/95.

Marko, you’re right. The island of Ireland is made-up of 4 quarters - Leinster (including Dublin), Munster (where my county is), Connaght and Ulster.

Ulster has 9 counties, 6 of these make up Northern Ireland. Basically, if you’re from Northern Ireland, you’re also from Ulster.

Brilliant little geography lesson there Alan!! I hail from Munster myself..
I think that was the BBC show I saw aswell cos I vaguely remember something being bleeped out…Probably the “RUC dogs of oppression” bit.

Anyway if anyone is willing to send me a version of it I’ll be eternally grateful!

Cheers
