I wrote a book once: The History of Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros, "Vision of a Homeland."Story of a really great band, with a legendary frontman: Joe Strummer.ISBN 0954856805. Had a French language edition released in March 2010 and an Italian language edition released in March 2017.Even appeared in films: "Viva Joe Strummer, The Clash & Beyond" aka "The Joe Strummer Story" aka "Get Up, Stand Up" though a leading part on the silver screen in Hollywood never quite materialised.I have contributed to numerous music publications around the world inc: Rollingstone, NME etc*EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT!*"Late News Breaking, This Just in" - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Late-News-Breaking-This-Just"acts as a final word on the great band's press coverage...the attention to detail is fantastic...encyclopedia of all things Strummer 'n' Jones..." Vive Le Rock!After researching for The Clash Book of Books, Anthony Davie and Tim Satchwell set about collecting together the covers of magazines and music papers from around the world which the band has appeared in.Some are Clash specials, others have the band as cover stars, and then there are others with substantial or significant contents relating to the band or their post Clash bands and projects.It took months of research and tracking down publications, achieved as always with the assistance of those Clash fanatics across the world.

Many moons ago I purchased a franchise, but...after awhile discovered the franchisor was full of empty promises, so took the big step of going it alone.We carried out repairs/renovations/inspections of leather furniture for leading insurance companies and we also carried out work for numerous British Army Regiments & Royal Air Force bases in both the UK & Germany (officers/sergeants mess) plus several leading museums and galleries.
