BUSKING TOUR...Joe and Paul took the band go on an impromptu busking tour - playing publicly and outside venues acoustically... the 'shows' generated some excitement about the forthcoming album... They all hitched from London by the M1 and agreed to meet up in the pub near Nottingham Railway Station. The Last Days of the Clash - Vince White pg 226

National Express bus from Nottingham to Leeds

No known audio or video

John: November 4, 2013 at 6:46 am
I saw them on this tour, on a late night National Express from Nottingham to Leeds- it was very exclusive- just me, them jamming at the back and the coach driver. Unfortunately I wasn’t into the Clash much then, so didn’t recognise them. I only realised a few days later when there was a report about them busking outside an Alarm Leeds Uni gig in the Uni newspaper. The Alarm came out to watch apparently.

get there just in time to see them play the last few bars of the last song

I was sitting in the MJ coffee lounge at Leed Uni. Someone came in and said: "There's a bloke outside, looks just like Joe Strummer." Yeah, right. That's going to happen. So I take my time, drink my coffee, go take a piss and amble downstairs. I get there just in time to see them play the last few bars of the last song. And it wasn't even a Clash song. Apparently they busked the queue of the Phonographiqe later on that evening. But I missed that as well. (See also The Last Days of the Clash - Vince White pg 230)


saw some very neat looking leather clad punks outside a terraced house drinking beer

I moved to Leeds from the former G.D.R. to live with my wife and young daughter. We went out the day before the picture was taken to some hippy friends' couple house. We walked through a road called Delph Lane near the spot and in brilliant sunshine saw some very neat looking leather clad punks outside a terraced house drinking beer. We did not recognise them then!

When we arrived, the TV was on and Andy Kershaw said that The Clash are busking in Leeds.

The next day I took a camera by chance and managed to take the pics. Unfortunately I may not have the negs anymore, but I'll have a tidy up in the next 2 weeks and let you known if I find them. Yours, email Tilo Hartig


Ed Parkinson Middlesbrough Town Hall and Leeds United a few years later. Missed the busking tour at The Hyde Park pub in Leeds because I was in bed with a hangover about 200 yards away.

I was a DJ at The Fav

Post by Chrism » Tue 17 Jan, 2012 3:58 pm
I remember them in the Fav car park as I was a DJ at The Fav at the time. Didn't take any pix myself but I know a few people there did so there must be some pix laying about in shoe boxes somewhere. I think there were some pix of the Phono gig on the Phono page on facebook, but a lot of stuff got lost or removed when FB did one of it's unannounced upgrades.
