From THE CLASH - HASTINGS PIER 12TH JANUARY 1980, Interview

Link or Archived PDF

by Alan Esdaile. Interview from site.

Mark Gilham : This show was put on by our old manager John Curd

Andy Baldock : ..saw the gig in 1980. Also saw them at Brighton Top Rank either the next night or night after that.Saw some fab bands at the old Top Rank & &..

Phil Meston : I saw the Clash on the pier in 1980. Another souvenir from the Clash s 1980 gig on The Pier, the badge above

Mark Parsons : I was at this gig and still have my ticket stub which Topper autographed for me. I have this memory of Joe Strummer announcing that this was the first live performance of London Calling but the album came out in 1979 and they must of played it before. However it was a great gig and if memory serves they kicked the set of with Clash City Rockers.

Ian Wilson : Mark, did The Bodysnatchers play that night?

Mark Parsons : Hi Ian. I don t remember the Bodysnatchers but definitely remember the Slits playing.

Ken Copsey : Before starting at the 77 gig Joe Strummer announced   this ones a seaside special & Hastings is burning! Bang we was off! Didn t stay at the front for very long as complete pogoing mayhem ensued and thought 15 year old me might get trampled.This was one of the most memorable gigs I ve attended. Definitely the right place to be for a 15 year old in 1977. Funny how history is revised but I can remember London Calling not being that highly regarded when it came out, being redolent of the Clashes slide towards American stadium sell out status.O ·The Clash - Hastings Pier 12th January 1980





I was there

JulianBaker - @JulianCBaker

I saw The Clash play the Ballroom on the old Hastings Pier January 1980.  Probably my No.2 gig of all time. Remarkably the pier survived for a further 30 years before fire destroyed it.

**The Clash photo Hastings Pier 12th January 1980 by Mike Twine |

The Clash photo Hastings Pier 12th January 1980 by Mike Twine. Mike Twine says... Hi, I thought that this photo might be of interest to anyone who went to this Clash gig on Hastings Pier in January 1980.

My friend Andy and I went down to see if we could get into the soundcheck. We got in front of the stage but when the band came on some roadies came and told us to go. But Joe Strummer said 'nah, let 'em stay'.

They then blasted through about three numbers for about 15 minutes. It was king fantastic, as the sound in the empty venue was awesome.

was quite into photography at the time and this is my favourite photo from the ones that I took.

The gig was outstanding and remains the best gig that I ever went to. I'm sure that lots of people who were there that night would agree that The Clash were a brilliant live band with some great songs. photo © Mike Twine
