Mick Jones, Billy Bragg and Wayne Kramer (last night)
Last night at Proud in Camden Town North London the premiere of the Breaking Rocks (The Jail Guitar Doors film) took place. It was followed up by a gig headlined by Mr Billy Bragg.
Needless to say without Pete Stevens I’d just be writing to tell you how great the event was (I hope) and that the film is intense (I’m reckoning) and that Billy looked so cool (he does) and Mick is the business (he is). Thanks to Pete I’ve got some photo evidence below. You know the two protagonists and the man in red is none other than Wayne Kramer. I’ll be fishing for more news and views for you tomorrow and in the meantime here are some photos to get you started. Pete – Thanks as ever – lovely shots!!

Cheers Tim! I havent forgotten the Tiddenfoot pictures – that’ll be 33 years ago this friday that the Clash played there! I’ll try and get down there soon – I hear the old bar is a gym now so dont know if I’ll get access.
In reply to yobop – the guitars and other musical equipment are provided to prisons, rather than to prisoners. This way they’re designated for use by music rehabilitation programs, rather than being given to specific individuals.
Hi Stu — that’s great I hope the exposure helps you out! I can’t believe it didn’t sell — but these are such hard times, aren’t they?

How does Mrs Stu like the new Foo Fighters song “Wheels” — I heard it this morning and it’s terrific. How cool that a Foo ended up playing with Mick and Billy. Very cool. Foos are def up there on my all-time fav live bands list, so they’ve already been linked with the Clash in my head for a long time.
Anyway nice to hear from you, good luck with your work. I look at the MJ/TJ weather cartoon every morning and it never fails to make me smile.
