If Music Could Talk

There is an update on the BMC home page. Looks like a huge amount of hard work has been taking place, plus mention of the BMC book.

Brilliant, this looks fantastic.

Great stuff
Although i still can't access the strummer stuff on laptop, but hey ho.

I've just found the disc with the whole of BMC on. It's from 2004
Can't remember who i got it off but you can use all the hyperlinks on it.

I’ve got one of those white man- it might well have come from you!!
2004 seems like an age ago, in Clash fandom, let alone real life!

Quite possibly John. The copy i have may have come directly from Graham. It has written on it "please share freely"

It’ll all be back up end of the month. It’s been a journey, a long one to get it to where it will be in a few weeks time. A mammoth task.

Part of that is to digitise / scan /archive everything.

In the last 2 weeks we’ve updated offline 76/77/78. About to start 85 and 84 (which are outdated the most).

We’ll do Strummer as well which is probably 10 years without an update.

Yeah just want to echo what my mate JohnS has said. Great site and look forward to it's return. Incredibly essential resource.

Just an update. The new site is coming along well.looks like the old site, just much much bigger and more accurate.

I have been trawling US campus newspapers to put together what feel at books worth on the April May 1984 tour.

Done
-1976
-1977
-1978
-1984 (almost)
-1985

The busking took 2 weeks for example. Be glad to get to the boring Who concerts. Simpler. Quicker.

Picked up on lots things I didn’t know 20 years ago.

Fantastic stuff!!!!
