The curly-haired Brighton boys have been a bit quiet of late, so fans will be pleased to hear they’re planning a not-so-secret gig this Friday in west London.

Organised by the Joe Strummer New Music Foundation – a charitable organisation dedicated to creating opportunities for aspiring musicians – it’s being held to celebrate the late Clash co-founder’s birthday.

Venue details are suitably sketchy – it’s described as an “urban space underneath the Westway” next to Portobello Market and the Public Library. The gig will also mark the closure of fellow Clash member Mick Jones’s pop-up exhibition of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia , which shuts on 25 August.
