Living through a few bombing campaigns in London I hated the IRA as much as anyone but I found most of the people in those pubs (certainly the ones I got to know) weren’t pro either they just didn’t want to cause trouble or draw attention to themselves.

Re: NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?
Just read a piece about that bombing and it mentioned a Sinn Fein/IRA guy bragging about raising £17k in London every year which I guess was more than small change back then. It also mentioned the fact that the majority of people injured in the blast refused medical treatment and had quickly slipped away before the police could question them!101Walterton wrote: ↑29 Aug 2018, 10:26pmLiving through a few bombing campaigns in London I hated the IRA as much as anyone but I found most of the people in those pubs (certainly the ones I got to know) weren’t pro either they just didn’t want to cause trouble or draw attention to themselves.

I’d agree that the vast majority would have no truck with it and would have been acutely embarrassed by it. Just made everyone’s lives more awkward than they needed to be.

Re: NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?
If like me you often stumbled in to pubs as much as stumbled out of pubs in the late 70's early 80's you learned very quickly not to fuck with the locals as if they were cordial then that was all that was required. They served ale and that was enough, once you learned you were in a pub with IRA affilates you drank your ale and kept your mouth shut.Low Down Low wrote: ↑30 Aug 2018, 4:18amJust read a piece about that bombing and it mentioned a Sinn Fein/IRA guy bragging about raising £17k in London every year which I guess was more than small change back then.

Brilliant stuff. If only Joe had produced more albums and less soundtracks. A proper full album of those sessions would be amazing.cat wrote: ↑30 Aug 2018, 11:48amVideo clip Rose of Erin

Re: NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?
The Permanent Record soundtrack pretty much served as an EP for me. Don't think I played Side B too often.

And it has about as much music actually written by Joe in its entirely as Permanent record does.
