Colin Riot RIP

We were stunned and incredibly saddened to hear of the death of a Belfast punk rock legend, Mr Colin McQuillan, aka Colin Riot.

Anyone who ever had any dealings with Colin will know just how true the single most common tribute being paid to him is – he was indeed a true gentleman.

Even as a very serious young straight-edger, some of my most cherished memories of long past punk shows are singing along to Runnin Riot classics.

Our deepest sympathies go the Colin's family, band members and friends.

If so inclined, raise a glass to Colin.

There may have been many before, and may be many since, but there will never be another like Colin Riot.

"This is a working class protest, nothing more, nothing less..."
