Feelgood feeling with Wilko
Wilko Johnson, guitarist and founding member of Dr Feelgood, calls in on Brighton on his nationwide tour (Komedia, Sunday, October 9; tickets on 0871 230 1101 or www.seetickets.com).
Johnson will be accompanied by Norman Watt-Roy (bass), and Dylan Howe (drums). Special guest is award-winning blues guitarist/singer Ian Siegal.
Wilko first made his name in 1971when he formed Dr Feelgood, a British pub rock band from Canvey Island, Essex, known for their electrifying concerts. Their first two albums were Down By The Jetty (1974) and Malpractice (1975). In 1976, their live album, Stupidity went to number one in the UK’s official album chart. By the time Dr Feelgood released their fourth album, Sneakin’ Suspicion (1977), Johnson left the group and to pursue a solo career. He joined Ian Dury and the Blockheads in 1980.
