Stiff Little Fingers to play Paris show despite terror attacks
Northern Irish punk band Stiff Little Fingers have vowed to play their scheduled gig in Paris on Tuesday night.
Several bands have cancelled gigs in France in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris last Friday.
Band members said their experience of the Troubles, and the frustration about bands not coming to Belfast during the conflict, motivated their decision to carry on with the show despite Friday’s terror attacks.

I could be a soldier
Go out there and fight to save this land
Be a people's soldier
Paramilitary gun in hand
I won't be a soldier
I won't take no orders from no-one
Stuff their F***ing armies
Killing isn't my idea of fun
They wanna waste my life
They wanna waste my time
They wanna waste my life
And they've stolen it away
I could be a hero
Live and die for their 'Important' cause
A united nation
Or an independent state with laws
And rules and regulations
That merely cause disturbances and wars
That is what I've got now
All thanks to the freedom-seeking hordes
They wanna waste my life
They wanna waste my time
They wanna waste my life
And they've stolen it away
I'm not gonna be taken in
They said if I don't join I just can't win
I've heard that story many times before
And every time I threw it out the door
Still they come up to me
With a different name but same old face
I can see the connection
With another time and a different placeThey ain't blonde-haired or blue-eyed
But they think that they're the master race
They're nothing but blind fascists
Brought up to hate and given lives to waste
They wanna waste my life
They wanna waste my time
They wanna waste my life
And they've stolen it away
