Timeline

2014

Stiff Little Fingers released their tenth studio album, No Going Back in March 2014, eleven years since the release of Guitar and Drum, their last studio album. "No Going Back" became their first charting album since the retrospective "All The Best", eventually reaching number one on the Official BBC Rock Album Chart. Burns remains the only member to be present in all line ups of the band since their formation. A world-wide tour followed in early 2014 including the now annual event at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow which Jake has said on many occasions is his favourite night of the year.

2009

In 2009, Burns formed a Chicago punk rock super group called The Nefarious Fat Cats to raise money for local charities. Notable members include John Haggerty (Pegboy, Naked Raygun), Joe Haggerty (Pegboy), Joe Principe (Rise Against), Scott Lucas (Local H), Herb Rosen (Beer Nuts, Right of the Accused) and Mark DeRosa (Dummy). Mr. Burns also contributed guitar and vocals on a track of The Black Sheep Band charity record for Children's Memorial Hospital, A Chicago Punk Rock Collaboration for the Kids, Vol 1.

2006

On 27 March 2006, Burns released a solo album titled Drinkin' Again.

2001

Since 2001, Burns has also been involved in a side project with Pauline Black of The Selecter, called 3 Men and Black. This involves Black touring with three male artists from the late 1970s, early 1980s doing acoustic versions of songs they are famous for, and talking a little about how they came to write the songs etc. The line up for the concerts is fairly fluid, and has included such people as Bruce Foxton, J.J. Burnel, Eric Faulkner and Nick Welsh.

1997

The trio of Burns, Foxton and Grantley recorded 1997's Stiff Little Fingers album, Tinderbox with help from Ian McCallum who joined as a full-time member for 1999's album And Best of All...Hope Street. This same line-up recorded 2003's Guitar and Drum

1994

In 1994, they released Get a Life in the UK, releasing it in the U.S. in 1996. By the end of 1996, Taylor left due to family commitments, to be replaced by Steve Grantley, who had previously been the drummer with Jake Burns and the Big Wheel.

1993

In 1993 Burns made what he described in the book Song by Song, as one of the hardest decisions of his life, and asked Henry Cluney to leave the band. The trio of Jake Burns, Bruce Foxton and Dolphin Taylor continued for the next four years, joined on live shows by either Dave Sharp or Ian McCallum.

1991

Ali McMordie decided he could not commit the time to tour full-time or record, and so left, being replaced by Bruce Foxton (previously bass guitarist in The Jam) in time to record 1991's Flags and Emblems. In the UK, the single from this album, "Beirut Moon", was withdrawn from sale on the first day of release, allegedly because it criticised the government for not acting to free hostage John McCarthy, who had been held in Lebanon.

1987

In 1987, Burns disbanded Big Wheel, and Stiff Little Fingers reformed, because they were "skint and wanted to make a bit of cash to get back to Ireland for Christmas". They released some live albums and did short tours towards the end of the 1980s, and by 1990 were thinking of reforming permanently.

1982

In 1982, came a four-song EP called £1.10 or Less and then their fourth studio album, Now Then... (although their fifth album, as they had released a live LP, Hanx, between Nobody's Heroes and Go for It). By this time they had diversified musically, and Now Then had an almost pop feel about it in places. This led some of their more hardcore punk fans to feel alienated, and in the face of low sales and concert attendances, they broke up in 1983, when Burns said: "Our last LP Now Then was to my mind the best album we have made. But it is also unfortunately the best I think we will ever make. So I have decided to call it a day." The band later revealed the original split had been somewhat acrimonious, with band members apparently having fistfights rather than talking through their differences.

1981

In 1981, Burns made his acting debut in an episode of the BBC's Play For Today series entitled Iris in the Traffic, Ruby in the Rain, written by Belfast-born poet and playwright Stewart Parker, which also featured the rest of Stiff Little Fingers effectively playing themselves as 'The Band'.

1979

Stiff Little Fingers' debut album, Inflammable Material entered the UK Albums Chart as the highest new entry and, coincidentally, the first ever completely independent album on 21 February 1979, which also happened to be Burns' 21st birthday.

In mid-1979, Stiff Little Fingers signed to Chrysalis Records, and in 1980 released their second album, Nobody's Heroes. 1981's Go for It followed.

1977

They were briefly named The Fast, but as there was already a group of that name they changed it to Stiff Little Fingers, taken from the song of the same name that had appeared on Pure Mania, the 1977 album by The Vibrators.

They recorded "Suspect Device" their first single in 1977. The single was packaged in the form of a cassette, with a cover depicting a cassette bomb, apparently causing great hilarity in the group, when one record company phoned them and asked for another copy, as they'd thrown the first one in a bucket of water for fear that it was a real bomb.

1958

John "Jake" Burns (born 21 February 1958, Belfast, Northern Ireland) is a singer and guitarist, and is best known as the frontman of Stiff Little Fingers.
