Seriously though I did meet Mick Jones once, and honestly what an incredible, insane experience that was. Don't meet your heroes they say, it'll ruin everything they say - not for me! I met Mick Jones yeah he's one of my heroes but honestly he's not quite Joe and I didn't meet him. Saying that my favourite Clash song is Stay Free - sang by Mick Jones so seriously who am I kidding I just love all 4 of those talented punk rockers.
I also met Johnny Rotten at a book signing, that was nerve wrecking because I guess with him you never know how he will come and actually I am glad I went now because he was charming and funny and such a legend.
Just Adam Ant, Manic Street Preaches, Nick Cave, The Strokes and The Cribs to go now...
Basically I want to say OOPS for not writing in 1 whole month but I am back and I have turned over a new leaf. My anxiety has settled (sort of) and I am feeling 100% more myself these days, I have been eating well, exercising, socialising, reading and I have even been to chuffing Barcelona (lucky gal).
But my main reason for this post - I don't know if you've noticed but I have added a little banner on to my page (over there on the right). The Joe Strummer Foundation, a platform that gives opportunities to musicians and support to projects around the world that creates empowerment through music. Recently I have started working a long side this wonderful charity as it holds a very close place in my heart. You will be hearing more on here about up and coming events that I will be helping to organise in the coming months. You can even pop over onto the website if you fancy finding out more ;) Or just give them a follow on Instagram or Twitter.
Hosting a permanent spot at Glastonbury with the most magnificent views of the site the organisation is taking the words "music artist" and making them a realistic job title for many up and coming, talented musicians just trying to make their way in the music industry. If your band would like to play a slot at one of the many Strummerville Sessions head over to the website to apply, alternatively you can apply for funding for a music project or even set up your own fundraising event. All this can be found on the Applications section of the website (link above).

Anyway, I have gone off point of this post now so lets draw it back in
