Wilko Johnson

Wilko and the boys are back in the Netherlands this weekend (Sunday 9th) at the Ribs & Blues Festival! https://www.ribsenblues.nl/programma/artiesten/wilko-johnson/

#ThrowbackThursday via TheBlockheads Ian Dury (and the Blockheads) - anyone know who took this fabulous pic?

A lot of talk about how Ser Ilyn Payne - played by our Wilko Johnson - is the only one to survive being on Arya Stark's Kill List. If you're not into Game Of Thrones, this will mean nothing to you. But you can still enjoy this gif:

Blues great Taj Mahal was born on this day in 1942. (Blimey, the month of May really is responsible for some absolute diamonds!)

Something for #BluesdayTuesday - the fabulous Big Mama Thornton!

And this genius would have been 77 today! Birthday love to Ian Dury <3

Groningen, here we come! Wilko and the boys will be on stage tomorrow (Sat 11 May) at 21.15. Synchronise timepieces!

A throwback Thursday post if ever there was one! Thanks Adrian. He hasn’t changed a bit ;)

If you like the Feelgoods, well, we know you are going to LOVE DADDY LONG LEGS! Check out the dates and don't miss them while they are over from the US (they play Wilko's local The Railway in Southend on May 19th FYI) http://officialdaddylonglegs.com/live.html

On this day in 1911, Robert Johnson was born. All hail!

Get your tickets quick if you want a second chance to see Wilko in conversation (and on guitar) at The Wanstead Tap! First night sold out in an hour, so this second evening has been added due to popular demand: www.thewansteadtap.com

Just announced: on July 24th, Wilko will be in conversation at The Wanstead Tap with Wilko Johnson - Looking Back At Me co-author / Lee Brilleaux biographer Zoë Howe - Books & Art & Rock & Roll. Sure to be a rollicking night of Wilko wonder and witticisms, so get your tickets at www.thewansteadtap.com

'From what I could see from the script, all I had to do was go around giving people dirty looks...' Wilko reveals to Metro his memories of playing the formidable Ser Ilyn Payne (who is still on Arya Stark's kill list), amid Game of Thrones season 8 fever:

FlashFORWARD Friday! Looking ahead to the next show - Wilko and the boys will be going Dutch and rocking Groningen next week for the Rhythm & Blues Night! Fabulous bill. Check it out! https://www.spotgroningen.nl/festivals/rhythm-blues-night/programma/wilko-johnson/

Ah, what might have been.... A slightly more recent #throwbackthursday - Wilko's appearance on BBC Radio 4's Mastertapes with John Wilson: (download the full programme here https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01sm7hv)

On this day in 2014, the Music Almanac has reminded us, Wilko underwent life-saving experimental surgery!

Glenn Tilbrook

Wilko would like to apologise to those who attended last night’s show in Cambridge - he was feeling under the weather and had to take a breather during the show, but he was adamant he wanted to continue with the performance. He very much appreciates the concern of the fans but wishes to assure everyone he is on the mend and looking forward to playing Cardiff, tonight, and Cheltenham tomorrow.

Back on the road this week! The rockin' Wilko Express - with special guest Glenn Tilbrook - will be calling at Cambridge Junction (Thursday), Cardiff Tramshed (Friday) and Cheltenham Town Hall (Saturday). (Was going to make a reference to the 'three Cs' but realised that could be misconstrued.) https://www.junction.co.uk/wilko-johnson?spektrix_bounce=true#tickets http://tramshedcardiff.com/event/wilko-johnson-with-special-guest-glenn-tilbrook/ http://www.cheltenhamtownhall.org.uk/event/wilko-johnson-with-special-guest-glenn-tilbrook-251756/
