Hey All Madness/Dury fans, Here's some exclusive news, sent to me by "Mickey Gallagher", a Blockhead. If you want to put this info no your site, please mention my site, I thang you.... "Hi Wozza Sorry about the delay in replying. Yes, there are various projects scheduled for this year involving the band. First .as you've already probably seen in the press,there is a gig at the Brixton Academy on 16th June as a tribute to Ian in aid of Cancer Bacup.This will involve the Blockheads as a house band for singers such as Robbie Williams to sing 'Sweet Gene Vincent' and 'You're the why'(the last song Ian wrote and the one the band sang at his funeral service)/Mick Jones of the Clash singing 'I'm Partial to your Abracadabra'/Suggs of Madness will do 'My Old Man'/ Phill Jupitus & Mark Lamarr will attempt 'Reasons to be Cheerful'/and Kathy Burke 'Billericay Dickie' / Keith Allen 'Blackmail Man'. Other luminaries are still being contacted for a contribution to the evening. There is a tribute album more or less in the same vein on the cards for September called 'Brand New Boots and Panties' which will have contributions on it from Robbie Williams/Paul McCartney/Neneh Cherry/Madness/ Billy Bragg/Keith Allen and more. Before Ian died we had recorded four songs together and, using these along with some earlier recordings not used on previous albums, we are attempting to put together a final 'Ian Dury and The Blockheads' C.D.Album.This project is of course subject to the wishes of Ians' family." There you have it folks! Cheers, Wozza. http://www.blockheads.co.uk "Our Father, Who art in Hendon Harrow Road be Thy name Thy Kingston come Thy Wimbledon In Earth as it is in Hendon.
