[gratefulmotors]

Didn't realise footage existed of KATHR. Google Ian_Dury_kilburns_interview.ht­m

One of my fave songs of his...fanx

Fucking Hell. This is dreadful. Is this what cockneys called music back in the 1980s? It sounds like a load of drunks wailing in the street after closing time. One word. ''Pathetic''.

@angels77100 I think judging all of Ian's music, much less cockney music (he wasn't actually a cockney, strictly speaking) by this snippet of "England's Glory" from the '70s would be like judging the Beatles and all Liverpool music of the 60s by a snippet of "Piggies" or "Rocky Raccoon." This is just one facet of Mr. Dury. Check out the recent compilation "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" or the YouTube clip of "Quiet" from the Concert for Kampuchea for more reasons why Ian's music endures today.

@angels77100 Where you living in a hole?

[angels77100]

@pauldegroover Sorry. But you'll have to add a little more to your question in order for me to comprehend what you actually mean.

An old friend of mine 'gentleman John Earl' on sax in the background. R.I.P. John.

Well said Peter mate!

Did Ian ever-I think I know the answer, I'm afraid- ever record a batch of music hall tunes? This is stuff he could have aged into so perfectly.

[gudlaffy]

reckon variety star!?

[Reint25]

I only know that some of the Blockheads tunes have a music hall character; Billerickay Dickie, There Ain't halve Been Some Clever Bastards, This Is What We Find...
