Tonight is the launch of a new Dr. Martens store on Carnaby street which also celebrates the partnership between the infamous brand and Strummerville, the West London based charity set up in the name of the late Joe Strummer. Strummerville helps up and coming bands by providing access to recording studios and other facilities.
On show from tonight will be pieces from the exhibition Strummer School which seeks to inform people about the life and work of Joe Strummer who is most famous for performing in the punk ‘The Clash’ Seems like he led quite a prolific life scribbling down ideas for music and producing pieces of artwork.
So if you feel like a bit of inspiration from an icon from a revolutionary era pop down and have a look.
