LYTTELTON CALLING
Sat Dec 22nd sees Lyttelton locals and musical alumni offering up a pre christmas hooley for anyone hoping to shake off the year just gone or at least raise a glass to the encroaching summer season, but perhaps more interestingly its also the tenth anniversary of the passing of clash frontman Joe Strummer. So what a better way to acknowledge him and his passing than by paying musical tribute. Clash obsessive and eastern guitar hacker and lead throat Adam McGrath has gathered up some local comrades...including Lindon Puffin, The Tiny Lies and Hanna Harding and has instructed them to throw some clash/strummer covers into thier sets...where these acoustic acts will take the songs will be an exciting part of the evening and the Eastern look foward to the long hinted at puffin version of london calling, Lindon Calling ...
It will also be the night The Eastern unveil their second annual free clash covers downloads for christmas, last year they traded these covers for donations to the locked out marton meatworkers christmas fund, this year theyll trade for something just as worthwhile, and in the spirit of giving (which is maybe the true spirit of the season!) all the bands encourage you to bring a can of food to the show to be donated to the city mission for christmas.
