I was in the Harp Bar on Hill Street when the police raided it. But when the Royal Ulster Constabulary arrived at the Harp Bar, we deferred to the management. This was the year of Alternative Ulster by Stiff Little Fingers, a new declaration of rights, delivered on a seven-inch single. I absolutely believe that punk rock helped to provoke the peace process. Whenever I meet old punks from the Harp Bar, we trade news about births, deaths and misdemeanours.
