Protex formed in 1978, inspired by the band members experiencing first-hand The Clash’s landmark visit to Belfast in 1977 when their gig was cancelled at the last minute due to insurance problems. They performed around Belfast and eventually secured a radio session with local station Downtown Radio. Three songs from the band's New York City concert at the Hurrah Club were filmed by John T Davis and made into a short film entitled Sham Rock.
