Joe Strummer Remembrance Night, Komedia, Brighton, Jan 5

9:28am Friday 4th January 2008

When former Clash frontman Joe Strummer died in December 2002, punk lost one of its greatest figureheads and most intelligent voices.

Together with guitarist Mick Jones, Joe wrote some of the most endearing and best-loved anthems of the late Seventies, including (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais, London Calling, Rock The Casbah and the blistering White Riot, which helped kick The Clash's career off.

He died at the age of 50 of a suspected heart attack, having spent the previous few years heading up the world music-influenced Mescaleros.

This is the sixth year that Joe's passing has been marked in Brighton. Take The 5th will headline, playing the best of Strummer's work from his time with The Clash up to his Mescaleros days.

Joining them will be new wave and punk covers band Night Of Treason, and Ramones revivalists Havana-A-Go-Go. Playing in between the bands will be the Death Or Glory Soundsystem, spinning the best in punky reggae platters.

Proceeds from the night will be donated to Strummerville - The Joe Strummer Foundation For New Music, which aims to provide rehearsal space and studio time for creative young people who would usually lose out because of lack of funds.

The night will also feature an auction of a customised guitar donated by Billy Bragg, with proceeds going to his Jail Guitar Doors project.

The project, which aims to provide musical instruments for prison inmates, takes its name from the B-side to The Clash's 1978 single Clash City Rockers.
