Dear Mr. Whistance, I wonder if you could please help me with a Clash location question? I'm going to London in a few weeks and am intending to check out quite a few Clash places (mainly courtesy of the information on your excellent website!), however I'm stuck for a couple which I'd love to visit but can't find anything about online; The riot scene on the rear of the first album, and the street on the front of Black Market Clash. I'm assuming they're somewhere in the vicinity of Ladbroke Grove? If you could help out it would be really appreciated, and be the icing on the cake for my trip! Again, thank you in advance if you can help out with the street locations, Very best wishes, J.C.(1.12.13)


Hello Don, That sounds like a good idea and will add the link. I have been on your site before but it is so extensive that I have not found the time to go through it all. It must have taken you a long time to put together and no doubt was a labour of love. I wonder why you never put it in a book.... But then so many people have wondered the same about myself. For me, it is very complicated and involves out-dated human delusions such as 'loyalty' 'integrity' 'sell-out'.... Maybe we could collaborate on a post - just a few juicy titbits from schooldays? It would help promote both our sites. Cheers, The Baker (29.12.13) www.thebaker77.wordpress.com The Baker - 15 minutes outside of Philadelpia
