    Joe Strummer is a hard nut to crack: so many different influences were tugging at the late rockers coat-tails that... read more on Time Out

    London Calling...........

    A must-see for all Clash fans and believers that the music scene is a sadder place without Joe Strummer .

    Loyal friends, band members and family sit around a camp fire just as he loved to do and remember the real Joe Strummer - Joe the anarchist, the World Service radio presenter, the articulate frontman of the best punk group of the era, the great listener , the fiercely anti-racist lobbyist, the family man. Joe's life is documented on film, in clips as a middle class privately educated child, to memories of a rougher life on the streets of west London, amongst friends who remained loyal even when he pissed them off or threw them out of the band.

    A great soundtrack but don't expect to hear only the iconic Clash sound. Joe loved World music and his choice of records played on his BBC radio show were eclectic .They make a perfect backdrop here to his huge and varied circle of friends and fans sharing their stories and memories.

    Non -believers of Joe as the punk hero will love him by the end of the film. I didn't want it to end and I was particularly moved by Joe's interview for MTV news when he reminded us that ' without people ,you're nothing'.

    I could say the same for music without Joe Strummer but maybe I'm just too big a fan...............

    The Future Is Unwritten

    This is a brilliantly filmed documentary about a true legend. It gives you an in site into his genius as a musician and about the sort of man he was. Thoroughly enjoyed and well recommended.
