Joe Stummer 001 - Box of Assorted Treasure and all because the Lad loves The Clash

IT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE A GROWN CLASH FAN MAN CRY and probably a few girls too ...

What's in the Box?

Although I have never been a die-hard Clash fan myself, I can't fail to be impressed with this beautiful intimate lovingly put together memorial to Joe Strummer for a life that has left such a mark on so many young punks and those that followed that might not, and now won't get, the chance to see him perform live.

You have Joe Strummer's notebook faithfully reproduced and there are his lyrics in his own handwriting.

And a cassette tape with Joe's original demo made back in the days when people made recordings and posted them off to record companies, one at a time ... or copied them on their boom boxes .... recorded from his London squat ...

And you get a little badge too. They've even kept in his cigarette that was airbrushed out of so many photographs.

Let's not go to Amazon. I'm sure Joe would hate the sweat shop that Amazon is.
You can of course get a more expensive one from whatever shifty character is already charging loads more on Ebay, or you can order from here.
it costs £94.99 and is available (free shipping) from HMV

Jamie Reid - 13 October 2018 to 6 January 2019 XXXXX: FIFTY YEARS OF SUBVERSION AND THE SPIRIT

Humber Street Gallery presents Reid’s first major retrospective in the UK

“XXXXX: FIFTY YEARS OF SUBVERSION AND THE SPIRIT”

64 Humber Street
Hull

HU1 1TU

Gallery Hours:

Tue - Sun, 10.00 - 18.00.

The exhibition will showcase a variety of material spanning several decades from the 1970’s to the present - collage work, drawings, paintings, prints, poster editions and photographs, demonstrating Reid’s witty delivery and continued dedication in making a statement through art. He returns to symbols such as Boudicca, the Oak Leaf, and Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People, presenting them in new contexts relating to current issues, whilst his recent paintings reflect his later embrace of spirituality and nature.

Jamie Reid lives and works in Liverpool and is represented by John Marchant Gallery, Brighton. “XXXXX” will be co-curated by John Marchant and David Sinclair.

Cafe: Tue - Thu, 10.00 - 18.00. Fri - Sun, 10.00 - 23.00
