  My first punk gig was when i was 14 in the Harp Bar (Sid rest it's soul) where i went to see Rudi with mates from my housing estate. I remember my feet sticking to the floor as i walked to the bar for a..... um lemonade
  
  I thought Rudi were awesome - loud, unpretentious and not afraid to stick to digits up to authority. Ihave many good memories of the Harp and the Pound where im sure many remember Dave Vanians head splitting exploits on the rafters as the Doomed played.
  
  a lot of my memories are shaded and grey around that time but one person i remember more than anyone was yer man Guinney, Who will ever forget him or a certain young lady called barabara or Declan Wells who was one of my best mates. Great days.
  
  Long Live the Harp!
