  • Alistair Jardine "Ali" McMordie is a bass guitarist, who made his name with, and was a founding member of, Stiff Little Fingers. He was with them from their inception in 1977 until they broke up in 1983, and joined them on the first few years worth of reunion tours five years later. After Stiff Little Fingers disbanded in 1983, McMordie formed Friction Groove with a group of Reading musicians who were in a successful local band, Between Pictures. Friction Groove secured a deal with Warner label, Atlantic, and went on to record an album - The Black Box - in Berlin and Brussels, from which the first single (Time Bomb) charted very briefly. Around 1986 he provided, along with other FG members, the core band behind Sinéad O'Connor, who had just arrived in London from Dublin. Ali was later sacked. Between 1992 and 1994 Ali McMordie was executive producer for the Peace Together Irish concert events. Since 1994 he has been the tour manager for American artist Richard Hall AKA Moby (with whos band he has sometimes played bass). Ali has also been used as the live bassist for Belfast singer-songwriter Dan Donnelly, having played in Dan's live band at the Beautiful Days Festival 2006 in Devon. On 23 January 2006 it was announced that McMordie was to rejoin Stiff Little Fingers for the duration of their upcoming March tour. On 26 April 2006, it was further announced that he had rejoined the band on a permanent basis, although as he has other business interests, a replacement may occasionally have to be used live. Besides being a live musician, McMordie runs Alistair McMordie Tour Management.
