OverviewThe Clash is universally recognised as one of the most legendary and enduring bands of all time. Their politicised lyrics, musical experimentation and rebellious reputation have inspired fans and musicians around the world and have had a deep and lasting impact on British culture. In this unique collection of testimonies from fans, confidants, friends and touring acquaintances of the band, John Niven, a lifetime fan, offers not only a whole new insight on The Clash, but also a vivid and touching portrait of Britain in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Based on interviews with those such as Pete Silverton, Micky Gallagher, Richard Hell and Ari Up of The Slits, The Clash Book takes us back to aa world of half cans of Heineken backstage and an atmosphere of tension and violence in concert halls', and delves into little-known stories and electrifying experiences with the band themselves.
