Once saw Ian & the Blockheads supported by Max Wall. Some people heckled when Wall sang a song. Ian thundered on stage livid. (Think Bob Hoskins in Long Good Friday). He delivered a furious lecture & Wall sang again to a respectful & appreciative audience. Much missed!

I was in my mid twenties when the punk/New Wave explosion happened - coming from a progressive rock background I was very dismissive - especially Ian Dury, who, I thought had as much to do with singing, as Adolf Hitler had to do with cultural tolerance. With regard to Ian Dury however, I WAS WRONG! I realise with the hindsight of age and some degree of wisdom that you don't necessarily have to sing in the conventional sense to produce something good.

The blockheads are of course fabulous!!

[bananasplitsable]

Love Ian Dury and the Blockheads. I wonder what the new film about him is like?

[sandndude1]

[texluh]

[eelpieandmash]

Hey Broomy,it was Punk cos it truly broke all the boundaries at that time,more than any other artist.

[dagsbollox]

[bertiethetoupee4]

@dagsbollox It's new wave.

[jsc30]

[barneyrob]

[Tosty99]

All the best mate, from your fan.

[bobgraham1261]

Fab to see ID & the Blocks as I remember them.

Norman Watt-Roy, John, Micky, Charley, and the great Davey Payne - a real porky prime cut!

[haroldturkeypants]

It,s my pleasure.

[broomybank]

I remember New Boots and Panties with great affection, hardly seems thirty years ago. It's bracketed as punk/new wave but it's as much jazz rock as anything. As well as good tunes, there are some great lyrics,as on this number, that capture place and time. Thanks for posting

[dagsbollox]

thank god some1 who knows the diffrence between punk and blues /jazz/ im an old punk ,,and 2 me there is only 1 punk band ever Never mind the dagsbollox heres the pistols !!!! GOD SAVE

[ultrasonic101]

[Pitsku]

My dad was a driver all his life and his ulcer also got too big, so you can imagine how this great song touches me. God bless you, Ian.

[andreaprodan]

Touching song and interesting slow-reggae version. Thanks mate!
