Why did they never keep on the road? What happened to their flutters and drummers? Their style was unparalleled at that time.. And maybe this day..if they were still on the road they would've joined the ranks of blackskull, imperial corps, William King? Who knows.. But as a kid growing up in Coleraine Al I had was a tape of sharpshooter East Belfast.. Some tape

[@bigsinger1981]

Daniel Mcclements same. Growing with their tapes and cd was best about. I am from Shankill and we have few good bands but these take the cake.

[@maccamcneill7326]

We grew up in the same town and owned the same tapes, lol.

[@Drifty40]

Formed by ex members of the East Belfast Protestant Boys. Big John's brother Jamesy, likely taking the vid. Big John done some of my tattoos. lol Rising Sons East Belfast formed at the same time by ex EBPB members aswell.
