One local band I can recommend is 'The Itch'.They play thier own stuff as well as some covers of 'The Jam' and a lot of Irish new wave/punk stuff like 'The Undertones' and 'Stiff Little Fingers'.The lead singer was Pat Gallagher from up Ossy,not sure if he is back with them as he did leave due to family commitments,but heard a rumour he may have gone back with them.I have thier album named 'Ave Parade' in my CD collection as well as a single they released a number of years ago which was a cover of 'Secret Affairs''Time for Action' who appeared with them at Accy town Hall a few years ago which me a Tinks went to watch.It was quite a good gig
