ON TOUR
The Ropetackle Arts Centre, Shoreham, United Kingdom (May 10);
The Blockheads are an English rock and roll band. Having played with Ian Dury for many years (as Ian Dury and the Blockheads), the Blockheads continued to play together following Dury's death (due to colorectal cancer) in 2000.
Ian Dury passed away in 2000 but his legacy lives on. Chaz Jankel, who co-wrote the bulk of the tracks on Ian’s first album, New Boots and Panties formed The Blockheads in 1978 to tour the album.
Ever since Ian Dury died more than 20 years ago, The Blockheads have featured a number of different singers in their line-up, including close friend of Dury, Derek The Draw, who sadly passed away in February this year.
Shortly after, it moved into the deconsecrated shell of St Swithin's church, where an unrivalled local affection for this tiny venue has kept it going ever since.
