THE BLOCKHEADS

Event information

There's no doubting that the most loveable, eccentric, cocky, funny, schoolboy-rude and artful characters from the punk generation are The Blockheads. Together with Ian Dury they created songs that were clever, insightful, subversive and more often than not, just plain fun.

Clever Trevor (sic), Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick, Reasons To Be Cheerful Part 3, What A Waste and the anthem for their generation, Sex and Drugs and Rock n Roll, all carried the same trademark mix of humour, indignation, wonderfully witty wordplay and extreme musicianship.

They created their own genre from a previously untried potpourri of funk, punk and English music hall. Dury may no longer be with us but The Blockheads - who celebrated their 30th Anniversary in 2007 - remain one of the hardest working groups to have emerged from the decade that gave us some of the most exciting and original music since the birth of rock and roll.
