Keeping it mean this #ThrowbackThursday

Something to get us through a cold and rainy Monday on the Thames Estuary:

What better than to head to sunnier climes in the bleak midwinter? Wilko and the band will be heading to Spain and Portugal next February. Check out the Live Dates section for details http://www.wilkojohnson.com

Raise your glasses and join us in wishing a very happy birthday to the formidable and fantastic BIG FIGURE!

Heads up, Spanish friends! Wilko and the boys are heading your way 9/10 February (Madrid and Barcelona). Read on: http://www.happyfmfuerteventura.es/?p=48641

Wilko is one of many a rock star to feature in this fine new tome by BBC Radio 6 Music's Matt Everitt!

Roll up, roll up! Tickets for next year's UK dates would surely make a fine Christmas present! (Pic by Laurence Harvey) https://www.thegigcartel.com/Artists-profiles/Wilko-Johnson-.htm

We're a little late for bluesday Tuesday but time is a liquid concept. Enjoy.

The chaps are off to Wilko's favourite place today - Japan! Safe travels, boys. First stop, Tokyo... Here's some vintage footage from those fabulous Nineties!

Now here's something we can believe in! The Gospel According To Wilko Johnson in Classic Rock Magazine - just marvellous. Words by Ian Fortnam.

Get your diaries out, because a raft of fresh UK tour dates have just been confirmed for next Spring!

Thanks to Mark McStea / Vive Le Rock for this jolly nice 9/10 review of 'Blow Your Mind'!

Next stop Sheffield! Got your tickets? Who's coming?

Great new piece on The Quietus -Wilko reunites with his Wilko Johnson - Looking Back At Me co-author Zoë Howe - Books & Art & Rock & Roll to discuss 'Blow Your Mind', returning to Rockfield ('it was like being a ghost') and his 'Baker's Dozen'!

One day late but please join us in wishing a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the most tremendous of tub-thumpers, the super-cool Dylan Howe! (Pics by Tina Jarrett / Graham Whitmore.)

Snap up a copy of the September issue of Q Magazine to check out Wilko Johnson on 'The Albums That Changed (His) Life'! Expect Van, Bo, The Doors... and a lovely mention of Southend enigma Mickey Jupp. And talking of Southend institutions - this image was taken in the marvellous South Records, a fine emporium indeed.
