The poster on the back wall is Vikivaki. An Icelandic band who were by chance also on CBS label in 1977 and came from Sweden.
The clothing of The Clash also places a time slot. Esp Joes FACE OF THE ASSASIN mis-spelt shirt.
The poster is a dead ringer for an album called Cruising released 12 Sept 1977.
Assuming it's there or there abouts it places The Clash maybe between say Sep 77 to end 77 assuming the poster was current. So where are they from?
As Vikivaki only released in Sweden & Germany. Can't see any similar looking gig photos so rule out Dads Malmo and a couple more and can't believe a UK venue would have the poster up for something never released here !!!
