The Blockheads
There’s no doubting that the most lovable, eccentric, cocky, funny, schoolboy-rude and artful characters from the punk generation are The Blockheads. With hits such as Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick, Reasons To be Cheerful Part 3 and Sex & Drugs & Rock N Roll, they continue to be one of the greatest live bands that the UK has ever produced.
The line up features: Chaz Jankel (who wrote the music to accompany Ian Dury’s lyrics), Mick Gallagher, John Turnbull and Derek The Draw – the bands mysterious frontman since 2002. After their barnstorming performances at The Big Chill in 2007, Glastonbury in 2008 and Madstock in 2009 they have launched a new album Staring Down the Barrel which attracted great reviews.
