Subject: Tribute to Ian Dury I thought you should be some of the first to hear about the attached tribute show in June. It should be a wonderful evening and a fitting tribute to our dear friend. If you are unable to make it, you could always donate a little something by calling Cancer BACUP hotline on : London (0) 20 7 920 7212 All the very best TRIBUTE TO IAN DURY FRIDAY 16th JUNE AT BRIXTON ACADEMY On Monday March 27th 2000, the music world lost one of its most influential characters, Ian Dury. Ian's uniquely English lyrical style, displayed throughout his work firstly as part of Kilburn & The High Roads and then most tellingly with The Blockheads, have left an indelible impression on British popular music and has exerted enormous influence on others. Putting it simply, Ian Dury was a one off, who is greatly missed by those who new him and by many that didn't. It's with this in mind that Inside Media Promotions, East Central One, Metropolis Music, and Dr Martens who are kindly sponsoring the event, proudly announce a special tribute concert to Ian Dury on Friday 16 June at Brixton Academy. The evening will be headlined by The Blockheads, Ian's long serving band, with guest vocal appearances by Robbie Williams, Joe Strummer, members of Madness, Ian Broudie, Kirsty MacColl, Saffron from Republica, Wreckless Eric, Mark Lamarr, Phill Jupitus, Keith Allen and Kathy Burke. Others also scheduled to make an appearance are the likes of Mick Jones, Topper Headon, Glen Matlock, Wilko Johnson and Chas and Dave. Further guests are to be announced soon. Suggs from Madness says:"I am proud and privileged to be involved in a tribute to one of this country's finest writers and performers. Looking at the line up so far it looks like it will be a fantastic evening and a fitting tribute to the great man." The profits from this very special concert are to be donated to the national charity CancerBACUP, for whom Ian was spokesperson. Ian wanted to ensure that everyone who was diagnosed with cancer knew about and had access to, the best information and support possible.
