With all proceeds to Strummerville, the Joe Strummer Foundation for New Music, the line up for the night comprises Clash tribute Rebel Truce, The Sex Pistols Experience and the sounds of Radio Clash from The Boiler.

The 22nd December will mark the eighth anniversary of the untimely death of Clash front man, political agitator and world-wide inspiration Joe Strummer.

In January 2003, just days after Joe's death, a group of Brighton fans of Joe, young and old, put together a small event to mark his passing and to celebrate the life of this inspirational musician and campaigner.

Eight years on, it has become one of the best-established Joe Strummer annual events, raising money for the Strummerville Foundation and keeping the spirit of Joe alive and well on the South Coast.

2011's event will be back at the Komedia in Brighton on the 8th January and the ragged army will once again raise a glass to Joe and the lasting influence that he has on our culture and our politics.
