The Clash: New Year's Day '77 (2015): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2015, The Clash: New Year's Day '77 is a music and documentary film directed by Julien Temple, running about 75 minutes.

What it’s about. Built around the earliest, until now unseen, footage of the Clash in concert, filmed by Julien Temple as they opened the infamous Roxy club in a dilapidated Covent Garden on January 1st 1977, this show takes us on a time-travelling trip back to that strange planet that was Great Britain in the late 1970s and the moment when punk emerged into the mainstream consciousness. Featuring the voices of Joe Strummer and the Clash from the time, and intercutting the raw and visceral footage of this iconic show, with telling moments from the BBC's New Year's Eve, Hogmanay and New Year's Day schedules of nearly 40 years ago, it celebrates that great enduring British custom of getting together, en masse and often substantially the worse for wear, to usher in the New Year.

Who’s in it. The Clash: New Year's Day '77 stars Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Topper Headon and Paul Simonon.
