The early Clash on the bill with Subway Sect and the Jam at The Royal College Of Art, London, 5 November 1976, as captured by John Ingham.

That gig was named “A Night Of Treason” (being on Guy Fawkes night) and it was actually the biggest stage they had been on at that point, playing in front of an audience of the usual 150 early punks plus a large crowd of Art College students and gig-goers who were curious to find out what the fuss was all about. According to the photographer The Clash “… just grabbed it, they just stamped their authority all over the place that night. I’ve heard people say, ‘I saw the Clash that night and they changed my life.’…”

“When the Clash started up—they were just amazing onstage. They were dressed in a way that looked like Jackson Pollock had poured paint all over their clothes. And that’s why I picked up a camera, and that’s why I shot in color as well. The professional photographers only shot black-and-white because if you took color photos, no one would have published it and printed it. So I was only shooting to record it, I had no thought of getting it published or trying to sell it…”

John Ingham, photographer
