The Clash's Mick Jones and Topper Headon reunite after 25 years

Jan 14, 2008

Fans of The Clash got a surprise as guitarist Mick Jones launched his new band Carbon/Silicon's residency in west London on Friday (11 January).

Playing the first Carbon Casino - which will see the band spend the next six Friday nights at Ladbroke Grove pub Inn On The Green - Jones was reunited with Clash drummer Topper Headon, who joined him onstage for the first time in 25 years.

Carbon/Silicon – which also features Generation X's Tony James – played a set of songs from their new album 'The Last Post', including ‘Why Do Men Fight?’ and ‘What The Fuck?’, plus included a curious snatch of war poetry between songs.

However the high point came during was the encore, when Headon appeared to play The Clash classics ‘Train In Vain’ and ‘Should I Stay Or Should I Go?’ with Jones and co.

The first night of Carbon/Silicon’s residency saw a number of Clash followers and punk luminaries turning up with the Sex Pistols' Glen Matlock and ' Viv Albertine and Tessa Pollitt spotted in the crowd, while 's Don Letts filmed the whole gig.

Carbon/Silicon will play the pub again every Friday until mid-February, with an array of different artists joining them on the bill each week. Tickets are not sold in advance, but can be bought from the bar for £10 on the day of each gig.
