Guitarist also set to combat credit crunch with 'Bank Of Carbon/Silicon'

Former Clash and current Carbon/Silicon guitarist Mick Jones has revealed plans to take his Carbon Casino cabaret night on tour.

Jones wants to expand the night, which has already been showcased at the Inn On The Green pub in London, to allow more fans to attend.

"One thing with it was it was 'first come first served', so not everyone could get in. Everybody wanted to come!" he told BBC 6Music.

No dates for the tour have yet been confirmed, however.

Jones also told the station that Carbon/Silicon have come up with a solution to the credit crunch.

"We're going to have the 'Bank Of Carbon/Silicon'. It's going to be a giant mattress and everyone can put their money under it," he joked.
