Excuse the cacophony but we have some class The Clash photos to share with you today from our archive.

Photographers on camera duty are Pennie Smith, Mark Classon, Simon Reeves, Steve Rapport, Cathal Dawson, Joe Jackson, Patrick Bradellong, J. Mahon and a mysterious Ian D. The context is late 70s and early 80s, when Joe Strummer toured with The Clash in venues like The Hammersmith and The Acklam Hall and even shared stage with Shane MacGowan.
