Wilco Johnson (Dr Feelgood from the 70's)

I've been playing with the idea of going to see him in Sheffield, but I don't think I could drag my mrs along. I don't think it would be her cup o' tea.

It seems Wilco is branching out a bit too as he has a small part in a new HBO series (Game of Thrones) where he plays a mute executioner. Inspired casting because he looks exactly as his character is described in the books.

Saw Ian + Blockheads back in the 90's when they were playing at the 'Madstock' Madness reunion gigs in Finsbury Park.
God, that was a hell of a trip. A dozen of us going 150 miles each way in a tranny van (not what you think, statesiders   ) with a few crates of beer.  No overnight stay. We nearly died when the lad driving almost hit the central reservation on the M1. It was only a slap on the back of his head that woke him up in time.   The things you do when you're young and stoopid

Good times.

Geoff,

Awesome performer, does he still 'machine-gun' the audience with his guitar ?

When I saw him in Poole (UK) a couple of years ago he managed to change a string whilst still playing the thing !

I sold him some guitar strings (discounted of course  ) a couple of years ago when I was in retail. He was a bit 'wired' but really friendly. Top geezer!
