Title
The Clash at Aberdeen University Union
Description
An illustrated advert for The Clash's gig at the Aberdeen University Union on 7th May 1977. This advert appeared in the <i>Gaudie</i>, the University of Aberdeen student newspaper, from 4th May 1977 on page 7. A preview of the event, written by Gregor Graham, featured on page 2 of the same issue. The advert indicates that the gig has been organised by Union Entertainments and that tickets, costing £1.00, are on sale from the Union Shop. The advert includes a photograph of Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and Joe Strummer. A preview of the performance can be found in the 'Pop talk' column by Ramsay Smith in the <i>Evening Express</i> of 4th May 1977, page 10. The same <i>Evening Express</i> column from 11th May 1977, page 10, includes a brief review of the gig. Describing the event, which was part of The Clash's "White Riot" tour, Smith writes that it "became a little too hot to handle but The Clash thrashed out their material with incredible enthusiasm and ferocity." The Clash also played in Aberdeen on 5th May 1978. This gig was at the Music Hall on Union Street. Press coverage following the event highlighted littering by those in attendance and damage to seats. The band were also due to play at Fusion, the former cinema and dance hall on Bridge Place, on 26th April 1982. This gig had to be cancelled due to the temporary disappearance of lead singer and guitarist Joe Strummer. Efforts to reschedule the event were unsuccessful. Newspaper reports indicate that the band eventually arranged buses to take Aberdeen fans to a gig taking place in Inverness ('Pop talk', <i>Evening Express</i>, 16th June 1982, page 11).
