what
happened next
After a lot of internal ructions,
TRB split
and Dolphin Taylor eventually became SLF's drummer! Tom carved out a successful
solo career and also as a broadcaster now presenting a regular show on BBC 6
Music.
SLF won the best support band award in that
year's Friars poll. Within a year SLF achieved the first Top 20
placing for an independent album and went huge. They did disband for a while but
now Burns and McMordie lead a great SLF who tour the UK twice a year to
demanding crowds. They came back to Friars in 2009 after a 27 year break.....and
sold it out....yet again!
