Blues - what are you listening to?

[Gerry D]

Sad news. Wilko Johnson.
Brilliant guy.

[cybot]

That is indeed very sad news Ivor. I can still remember his frightening duck walking antics as he careered across the Stadium boards. Another one of a kind...

Aye. Fran, Derek and myself saw him live in the Leeson Lounge a few short years ago and he'd lost none of the amicable manic charm. I saw him a few times as Wilko Johnston's Solid Senders too (broadly similar band members!) and he left nothing on the stage behind him.
A genuine hard working no nonsense R'n'B trooper.
He's actually doing a farewell tour (no really!) and hopefully he'll include Ireland.





and a younger Wilko with Ian Dury...



and a quick guitar lesson... (he learned his style from watching Pete Green and Johnny Kidd)

Thanks for the links Ivor....

[Fran]

Ah very sad news indeed Ivor.


I hope the ca goes easy on him.....


Fran

[JAW]

Ah no! That's just too sad. I hope that everything goes as well as it possibly can for him.

enjoying this at the moment.

Something I picked up yesterday. Sounding very promising and very similar to Fahey but much looser and daring....

[cybot]

Followed by this on Stamford Audio Heritage recordings....Double vinyl too :)
