Strummerville
is a registered charity that aims to create new opportunities for
aspiring young musicians.
Set up by the friends and family of Joe Strummer in the year after his
death, the charity seeks to reflect Joe's unique contribution to the
music world by offering support, recording resources and performance
opportunities to artists who would not normally have access to them. We
opened out first official Strummerville resource at the newly
refurbished Roundhouse in Chalk Farm in 2006.
Future plans include a further recording/rehearsal space in Bridgwater,
Somerset, a series of Strummerville Showcase nights giving unsigned
musicians a chance to showcase their work, as well as a continuing
presence at Glastonbury Festival.
