There was also an exclusive one off event featuring Guillemots, The Supernovas and The Pierces played a show on 17th of February at London’s Bath House, Liverpool St.

And here’s the reviews and photos…

	The Supernovas “They don’t make them like The Supernovas any more. The four-piece cut a Holloway swagger right through the poshest precinct in town but arrived at the shop on time, pint of Gaymers, Sherman button-downs and Fred Perry.” read review »

	Nimmo and the Gauntletts Sometimes music moves you to look back in the past. Philip Larkin, groping his way to bed after a piss, comes across the moon through the curtains: “The hardness and the brightness and the plain / Far-reaching singleness of that wide stare.. read review »

	Real Fur Accustomed to the soothing odour of fabric softener and gently ruminating washing machines, Real Fur seem a little startled to be playing to the thoroughfare of rush hour Piccadilly. read review »

Excerpt:

A delightful moment at Glastonbury this year was when I found the Strummerville camp fire (and it took a lot of searching – you would think a fire would be easy to spot in the darkness). The atmosphere was lovely, with a decent sized crowd scattered on sofas, rugs and the natural earth all gathered around a warming and roaring fire. It didn’t really matter what music was playing, but as it turned out there was a great collection of artists who performed low-key acoustic sets on possibly the smallest stage in the world.

This is the kind of thing that Strummerville promotes – good music being put in front of some attentive ears to hopefully try and gain a wider audience. Strummerville is a registered charity that, in true Joe Strummer style, aims to help new artists and bands record and get more exposure. It reflects Joe’s legacy to music, as The Clash continue to influence young bands everywhere. The charity helps young artists who otherwise would not have the means to normally progress their musical career. Strummerville is about doing things a bit differently, creating a community spirit within the music scene and allowing artists who actually have some things to say, to express them through the good old fashioned medium of rock ‘n’ roll.

This Sunday, Strummerville comes to the Inn on the Green to celebrate the start of the Carnival Weekend. While there may be many events on offer this weekend, this should provide some time to breathe whilst still enjoying the party atmosphere.
