In Conversation: Chris Salewicz on The Clash
Salewicz is calling.
Overview
Chris Salewicz is probably one of greatest music writers that ever was, and you can catch him in conversation this Saturday at the Triffid.
Active at the height of British punk — i.e. the '70s — Salewicz was among the journos credited with really writing the book on music journalism. Through his time at NME, he forged lasting bonds wth some of the world's greatest musicians, such as Joe Strummer and Bob Marley. Now, he's releasing his latest of 15 books, called Redemption Song: The Ballad of Joe Strummer.
Salewicz will be reading a few lines from his book and talking about The Clash, the early days of punk in the UK, all things reggae, and his long friendship with Strummer, of course. The evening kicks off at 5.30pm.
