  Joe Strummer: Redemption Song
A talk by Chris Salewicz
  McHugh's
Saturday 5 May, 3.00pm
 
Chris Salewicz was a close friend of Strummer from 1977 until Joe's untimely death at Christmas in 2002. With full cooperation of relatives, companions and fellow musicians, he has written the definitive account of British rock 'n' roll's most fascinating of idols.

The Clash was the most influential band of its generation, producing intelligent punk anthems such as London Calling, White Riot and Tommy Gun.

With his talent, looks and laid-back attitude Joe Strummer was the driving force behind the group and the archetypal front-man of a punk band.

Strummer's death in December 2002 shook the work and cemented his iconic status. Redemption Song is an emotional and compelling account of Strummer's life, and a comprehensive insight into the man behind the Clash. Both Strummer and The Clash transcended music stardom to become heroes to their fans and peers - this talk will be an honest tribute to them, and the best and last word on the subject.

The talk will be followed by a Q& A session with the author and an hours worth of great Strummer tunes.

A great read. Brutally frank and full of insights.

Salewicz knew and loved his subject well, and that shows on every page.
