Thanks for that, remembering him playing belfield back in 76 ithink, amazing style, that gig made many of the audiance want to be in a band including a certain mr geldof i think.. The feelgoods were very influenced by the pirates with mick green on guitar, they reformed on the popularity of the feelgoods covering ' shakin all over' and toured extensively including dublin gigs in the late 70's which were amazing. Halcyon daze indeed. Thanks again fergus.

Sorry if I'm going on a bit about this guy but he's a genuine legend.....

The media isn't short on Wilko interviews or articles these days but some are better than others....
