Carter USM fantastic. I used to love Carter when I was about 15/16 must have seen them live a good 10/15 times.

I'll be there!

Otway is first on as he has another gig in the evening in Kingston On Thames.

Great line up - but it's a pity gigs like this only seem to happen after someone dies.

 

[Marc]

hell yeah I'd give anything to have Strummer alive again

I'll be wearing a green Pennywise shirt I think, come say hello if you see me

Should just point out as well that everyone is playing for free or bare expenses
and all proceeds will be going to the Strummerville charity, set up by Joe's family after his death to help kids from disadvantaged backgrounds gain access to musical equipment and rehearsal facilities. I've put Jim Bob and Fruitbat on the bill next to each other and we're hoping for a Carter USM reunion - if we get one it will be the first for many years! (yes, I liked Carter a lot too)

Hope to see a few Albion there!

And there's a Saturday night warm up at Shoreham Airport with Andy Baron and the Believers (great roots reggae band!) Stage Bottles (punk rock from Frankfurt) Blyth Power and Random Negative.

The Music industry and life is all the weaker with the absence of Joe Strummer. RIP buddy! Well have a few aswell.

 

[The Large One]

Blyth Power are playing? Will Joseph Porter be bringing his sleeping bag?

Just confirmed: brewed specially by the Dark Star Brewing Company for the event.
Joe Strummer Remembrance Ale. 4%. Ginger - so a bit like a slightly weaker Meltdown. The Concorde have ordered an 18 (that's 144 pints!)
Gonna be a great day!
Oh, and by the way. FDM. By a street.
