-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is hugely ironic that Mick Jones was fired from the Clash for "betraying the spirit of punk" as, three decades on, he has stayed truest of all to its ideals and DIY sensibilities. Carbon/Silicon, his band with former Generation X/Sigue Sigue Sputnik member Tony James, was recording albums and giving them away free on the web a full five years before Radiohead began gaining plaudits for their philanthropic gambit.
On similar egalitarian principles, Jones and James are now playing a six-week residency - no advance tickets, £10 to get in, first come first served - at a tiny club under the west London Westway that became such a potent Clash symbol. The first night drags iconic punk faces out of the woodwork: Sex Pistol Glen Matlock roams the floor, while DJ and filmmaker Don Letts assiduously films the gig from the side of the stage.
Flanked by James on rhythm guitar, Jones remains a casual virtuoso guitarist, picking out killer riffs from the band's first commercially available album, The Last Post, with a broad grin. His familiar London drawl sounds fantastic on War On Culture, an assault on salacious tabloids, while the absurdly catchy single The News is a reminder that while the late Joe Strummer was The Clash's figurehead, Jones was its musical leader.
It is more like a party than a gig and is too sloppy to win Carbon/Silicon many new fans, but a nostalgia-heady crowd hardly care after Clash drummer Topper Headon joins the band for an encore of Train in Vain and Should I Stay Or Should I Go. There are few ways for punks to age gracefully, but Mick Jones has certainly found one.
