Jessie Mallin played Dingwalls, Camden, early Clash rehearsal territory, with specials guests to celebrate our Joe Strummer. The show felt like NYC had come to visit to say thanks to Joe Strummer for coming to visit them ... Hands across the ocean ... Audience crossed generations from current sixth form to dads from back in the day ... special guests who got up to sing with him included Charlie Harper from UK Subs... Mark Stewart from the Pop Group. Audience included girls and boys ... Joe Strummer's wife was there ... Jessie sang White Riot for Grenfell; Catherine Pepper sang Hitsville UK; Rat Boy Spanish Bombs; Also classics like White Man in Hammersmith, Combat Rock ...  It was hot in there. and outside in Camden a road was blocked by police and ambulances ...  a dark black SUV had been pulled over ... didn't look good for someone out there
