Not a 100% sure what you're getting at here tbh but it sounds like something good so fingers and toes firmly xed.

Arms Aloft in Acton Town was set up by members of the Fire Brigades Union and other trade unionists who wanted to memorialise Joe Strummer and the Mescalero's support for the FBU at Acton Town Hall on the 15th November 2002.Low Down Low wrote: ↑15 Nov 2021, 12:31pmNot a 100% sure what you're getting at here tbh but it sounds like something good so fingers and toes firmly xed.
They filmed the whole gig on the night Mick joined Joe onstage. It's had a very heavily cut release back in about 2008.
Hopefully someone has been able to negotiate some kind of longer cut.

I've seen a couple of videos on YT, but I don't think I've seen the entire show.

Best bootleg I've ever heard. Pro footage is honestly my white whale.

I’m not sure how to post a picture, but it looks like they announced a show to commemorate the 20th anniversary (feat. Rotten Hill Gang, Tymon Dogg, Ray Gange, etc.) You can see the poster on their Facebook page (apologies if this is posted somewhere and I just haven’t seen it yet).

Wish I could predict whether or not Mick would make another surprise appearance because I could justify the international flight if so…

I’d guess it’s down to the pandemic if Mick appears. November’s a ways off.

Re: Arms Aloft In Acton Town
No problem! I saw it and was surprised no one had posted it here yet so figured I’d share.
Teddy’s right that November is far off and who knows how the pandemic will be. Guess I’ll keep it on the back burner for now and see where we are closer to the event!

Re: Arms Aloft In Acton Town
That makes me so incredibly happy & so fuckin’ pissed at the same time…
Re: Arms Aloft In Acton Town
Thanks for sharing that. So wonderful and yet so sad all at the same time.

Re: Arms Aloft In Acton Town
All true. Miraculous and devastating. I selfishly wish someone could have turned up the amp Mick plugged into.
