On August 20th in Grenada Spain, an event is planned to commemorate the life and death of the influential Spanish poet and playwright, Federico Garcia Lorca. Lorca was murdered by Falangist (fascist) soldiers on August 20th 1936. Clash frontman Joe Strummer paid tribute to Lorca in the lyrics to The Clash's "Spanish Bombs."

In an open air gig in Granada's Sacromonte, band mates of Joe Strummer from different periods in his life will be coming together to play the tribute show. This includes The Clash's Mick Jones, The Mescaleros' Tymon Dogg, the 101ers' Richard Dudanski, Jem Finer of The Pogues and Julian Hernandez. The band will start their set at 10:00 PM on August 20th and plan to play though the early hours of the next day, Strummer's birthday. Strummersite spoke with Tymon Dogg in Hastings a few days ago and will have an interview posted soon. Tymon spent the day with Mick Jones in London rehearsing the set of Clash, Mescaleros and unreleased tracks for the gig.
