Late news breaking, Mick Jones and Billy Bragg from Jail Guitar Doors event last night!
HUGE thanks to the gentleman that is Peter Stevens who sent me a wonderful photo of Mick Jones and Billy Bragg from the Jail Guitar Doors gig in London last night.
Pete had even recovered enough to write this:
“At the end of a fanastic day at The Flowerpot on London’s Kentish Town Road, Mick Jones joins a newly bearded Billy Bragg onstage for a chaotic encore of the old Clash city rocker ‘Jail Guitar Doors’, celebrating the culmination of many magnificent performances from those helped by his Jail Guitar Doors project. It was such a shame that some of the prison inmates were, by this time, back in their cells and unable to witness the finale to what was a wonderful day….”
This photo is literally less than 12 hours old, if emailed images could still be wet like an old school dark room this would be one. Pete, I can’t thank you enough for making the 5,500 miles I am from home seem like a short ride on the 207 bus. I know Clash/Mick/Billy Bragg fans will love this. I hope the turnout was great.
I’ll gather more info about the concert in the next 48 hours, and share as it comes in. Thanks – (oh and) Twitter is magic.
Cheers – Tim

Its Pat Gilbert’s(from Night of Treason) guitar , Mick borrowed it for the encore of Jail Guitar Doors.
And unless I’m very much mistaken, that’s Pat G lurking in the background.
Dude has anyone heard this Frank Turner guy whos touring with The Gaslight Anthem? He’s ridiculously good, really reminds me of Billy Bragg but like more aggressive lyrics… Here’s his record on mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?noqmvyiuwzx
I enjoyed the event at Proud on thursday night but I must say it was a shame there wasnt more mention of Jago, the artist that painted all the guitars, he’s a great artist and one The Clash’s greatest fans ever, which is one of the reasons he collaborated with the project….
Thanks for the comments. Do you have an email/website for him?
Tim
