As someone who lived in Belfast decades later after The Troubles, seeing checkpoints in the middle of a central avenue looks as eerie and strange as looking at Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin. And for similar reasons. Glad that's gone! Thanks for the video too. I still miss NI 🙂

SLF were the first band that I saw live ; the gig that I attended was in The Ulster Hall back in spring 1980. I also sang in a rock group ( who shall remain nameless ! lol) and we played in the Rosetta Bar (affectionately known as The Rosie) in the late 80s !
