One of the most iconic and influential bands in British music, The Blockheads were originally formed in 1977 to accompany Ian Dury, creating a unique sound blending punk, funk, jazz, reggae and new wave.
The band continues to feature members of the original Ian Dury & The Blockheads line-up: including Chaz Jankel (guitar and keyboards), Mick Gallagher (keyboards and piano) and John Turnbull (guitar and vocals).
Responsible for some of the most enduring songs in British music, their extraordinary catalogue includes Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick, What a Waste, Reasons to Be Cheerful, Part 3, Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll and Sweet Gene Vincent.
Following Ian Dury's death in 2000, The Blockheads chose to carry on, preserving his extraordinary musical legacy while continuing to win new generations of fans.
With three original members still at the heart of the band, expect outstanding musicianship, infectious rhythms, irrepressible humour and a fantastic night of classic British music.
The Blockheads - the original spirit, the legendary songs and a live experience not to be missed!
