The Undertones were formed in Derry, Northern Ireland, in the mid-70s. The band broke up in 1983 after fragmenting.

In 1999 the band got back together for what was intended as a one-off gig. The band reunited at the end of the last millennium without frontman Feargal Sharkey.

With Paul McLoone at the mic, the band released two albums, Get What You Need and Dig Yourself Deep. The band has six or seven new songs and may release them as EPs instead of an album.

John O'Neil, an original member and rhythm guitarist, previews the band's 50th-anniversary tour of the UK and Ireland. The tour begins on Thursday (November 12) at the Torquay Arena.
