[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 830734, member: 176256"] Veteran guitarist Wilko Johnson has announced that he will be making a farewell tour of the UK in a couple of month's time. And this will be a proper farewell tour as he has been disgnosed will terminal cancer of the pancreas. There'll be no second chance so if he plays anywhere close you owe it to ypirself to go and see him play. _www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/9792547/Former-Dr-Feelgood-guitarist-Wilko-Johnson-diagnosed-with-cancer.html There have been no dates announced yet but keep an eye on his website's Tour Dates page. _www.wilkojohnson.org/#!__tour-dates Wilko found fame as part of the proto-punk pub rock band Doctor Feelgood. He left to pursue a solo career and, for a time, joined Ian Dury's Blockheads (I have an In Concert performance on my PVR with him playing). It was in the Blockheads that he met bassist Norman Watt-Roy who later joined Wilko's own band. Norman Watt-Roy's exhuberant style of playing (he provided the classic bass notes for Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Relax) mixed well with Wilko#s and he joined up ias part of his trio. Catch it while you can. You won't the like again. [/QUOTE]
