The fundraiser at The Tabernacle venue in West London will raise money for the Strummerville Foundation, a charity that “aims to create new opportunities for aspiring musicians” and which was set up by Strummer’s widow Lucinda

shortly after his death in 2002.

The foundation currently runs The Roundhouse Studios in Camden and funds musical projects for those who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford to. For more details about their work and the benefit show, see www.strummerville.com
