have a promo film shoot for their new single "God Save The Queen" today. It's shot at the Marquee by Julien Temple, a young Student film maker whose hooked up with Malcom McLarten for a fillm project. The video is for potential use on the Top Of The Pops TV show.
"The shoot was chaotic with Johhny Rotten acting like a prima donna and Vicious still ill. Yet somehow the atmosphere of madness worked well - the footage was both electric and humorous."

Meanwhile over in Belfast, Northern Ireland new bands are forming too. One of those who got together this month were a group called Stiff Little Fingers. They take their name from the The Vibrators song. They intend to write and sing about their native trouble-torn City, with first hand knowledge. The group is comprised of Jake Burns lead guitarist and vocalist, Brian Faloon on drums, Ali McMordie on bass and Henry Cluney on rhythm guitar.
