The Clash Fully Autographed 1978 Hotel Rooming List, With Roger Epperson Letter of Authenticity
A 1978 hotel rooming list for The Clash, signed by Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and Nicky (Topper) Headon.
This list, with hotel room numbers and room types for band members and crew, dates from The Clashís stay at the Merrion Hotel in Leeds, England for their November 18, 1978 show at Leeds University, as part of their Sort It Out Tour (their second album, Give Em Enough Rope, had been released only eight days before this concert). Apparently a member of the road crew gave a fan this list so he could use it for the bandís autographs. Note that Joe Strummer has scratched out his room number, to avoid unwanted visitors.
The signatures have been authenticated by music autograph expert Roger Epperson, whoís Certificate of Authenticity is included, as is Recordmeccaís written lifetime guarantee of authenticity. 6 1/2″ x 8 1/2″. In excellent condition, with three flattened horizontal creases and one vertical one.
Tickets
Entry stewards
Nicky Bettany - I was there too. One of my first student concerts. Went on to do stewarding. Great times. Proper musical education
Steve Southall - I was an Ents Steward from 1977 to 1980 and it really was the golden age of gig going. The musical history of the "Refect" is nicely commemorated around the walls with a poster for each (academic) year listing the gigs. Here's 1977-78 showing how music was changing.
Our Freshers gig was Camel and we all dutifully sat cross-legged on the floor to listen to some Prog Rock. Some of us were still awake at the end. Things got better as the academic year progressed and pretty soon the Refect was a sweaty mass of pogoing students and locals thanks to the Clash, the Jam and many others. Gang of Four made their first appearance in March 1978 (after many gigs in the Student Union).
Martin Hanson - I was there, first term of Ents stewarding. No little cards in 78 but I have got an A4 Leeds Univents flyer:
University of Leeds
The University's Refectory is a 2,100-capacity music venue located on the University's main campus in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. 2 11 The Refectory has a rich history of hosting notable performers, including The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, and Thin Lizzy 2.
The University of Leeds Refectory is part of the larger university campus, which includes several significant buildings. One of these is the Great Hall, a Grade II listed Gothic Revival building designed by Alfred Waterhouse R.A. and completed in 1894 3. The Great Hall is primarily used for formal occasions such as graduation ceremonies and university meetings 3. The Refectory, in the mid-20th century, operated as the university's main canteen 2. The University of Leeds campus is still in existence and continues to host a variety of events and performances 9.
The Clothworkers Centenary Concert Hall, part of the School of Music, is a stunning venue perfect for performances and conferences 1. It underwent a £1.4million refurbishment and now features state-of-the-art technical facilities 1. Images of this concert hall can be found on various websites 1, 2, 3, 4,
Leeds University is the Refectory
