The Kursaal Flyers/Crazy Cavan/Clash: Roundhouse, London
Chas de Whalley, Sounds, September 1976
JOE STRUMMER'S Clash--the best new band of the year? Well, some would claim as much. At least you can guarantee that any band formed by the 101ers guitarist will bristle with fire and energy. Unfortunately at the Roundhouse the Clash had little more on offer.
