The Blockheads

Fifteen years after his death, Ian Dury’s erstwhile backing band continue to tour their enjoyably funky brand of prime elastic pop, playing all the old hits: ‘Reasons to Be Cheerful, Part 3’, ‘Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick’ and the rest. The current line-up includes Chaz Jankel, Mickey Gallagher, Norman Watt-Roy, John Turnbull and occasionally Gilad Atzmon, with Dury’s former minder Derek Hussey doing a decent impression of the master on vocals.
