Yep a real shame, loved Wilko Johnson he was the heartbeat of Dr Feelgood with his choppy sharp guitar playing. RIP Wilko

Way before his time

Takes me back to a time and place. A hovel in a new city, but lots of possibilities and my whole life ahead of me. And it still sounds good.

One for those who’ve never seen it before. Classic Wilko

Fantastic stuff DM thanks for posting. Wilko played almost entirely with the backs of his fingernails or thumb and first finger pressed together like an imaginary pick, came off stage often with bleeding nails and finger ends. He didn’t give a shit about that because it gave him the sound and style of playing he wanted to put over. What a great band Feelgood were, sadly missed but never forgotten 😎🎸

That’s a very old video Fansy.

Mrs NI’s school chum whose performing name is Helen McCookerybook was the partner of Martin Stephenson, though I don’t think they’re together anymore.

She was in a post-punk group called Helen & The Horns when he was in The Daintiees.

Had a couple of drinks with them a few years back when they played The Cluny in Newcastle.

Nice guy with some great original songs. Washington born (and we’re not talking DC or State!).

Cherish my 7″ copy this and a fave for party sets. Never knew Neville Staple says ‘Bernie Rhodes knows, don’t argue!’ at the start, untill I read his autobiography. About when he managed them, the crap he used to come out with, and an early France gig. It’s a good read.

[Deereyme66]

Dropping like bloody flies now. RIP Martin Duffy.

[BobbyGmeister]

Nathaniel Rateliffe and the Night Sweats.

[BobbyGmeister]

And if we’re name dropping, I was once a roadie for the Detroit Emeralds (for one gig only in ‘ull)…
