Here’s a great exhibition for all Joe Strummer fans …
McHarg brings Joe Strummer centre stage by covering the gallery with photocopies of Joe’s lyrics, images, thoughts and scribblings. This installation is based on Strummerville’s Rehearsal Rooms that McHarg has had a hand in art directing/installing – The Roundhouse in London, Oh Yeah Music Centre in Belfast – and the “Joe Strummer Past Present & Future” exhibition – London & Tokyo – curated by McHarg.
On the 22nd of December 2009, as a tribute to Joe, McHarg named the Subway Gallery’s pedestrian subway were Strummer used to busk and roam, JOE STRUMMER SUBWAY. In Gordon’s words “It was an act of love and rebellion, for an artist who’s words, music and actions have left me better off.”

For one day only Edgware Road’s Subway Gallery was turned into a makeshift recording studio. On October 30th 2009, commuters and residents were invited to come down to the art gallery, located in the tunnels under Edgware Road, to go underground to record their own music tracks.
Scores of people including buskers and bemused passers-by made their way down to take part in the gallery’s ‘Rocking the Subway’ event.
The gallery was open from 11am but the mass recording did not take place until the afternoon. The aspiring recording artists were also joined by The Musical Differences.
