Wilko Johnson, the phenomenal guitarist and founding member of Dr.
Feelgood, who has influenced everyone from Joe Strummer and Mick Jones
to Steve Albini, will embark on a nationwide UK tour throughout
September and October 2011. Very special guest on all UK dates will be
the award-winning blues singer Ian Siegal and his band.
In addition to pioneering Dr. Feelgood’s distinctive mid-seventies,
pre-punk British R&B sound, in 1980 Johnson went on to play guitar
for Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Today, Johnson’s solo band features
Blockheads’ Norman Watt-Roy (bass guitar), and Dylan Howe (drums).

Special Guest Ian SIegal
Ian's driving bottleneck guitar style and classic blues voice has won
him a lot of fans worldwide. One of the finest blues voices this side
of the Atlantic, Ian was dubbed by Mojo magazine as 'the cleverest
writer and most magnetic performer of blues currently working in the
UK'. An enigmatic delivery of the blues. Without doubt the most
talented musician to emerge from Britain on to the European blues scene
in years, he doesn't just perform the blues, he is possessed by them.
He took the Mojo Blues honours in 2009, the first time a non-American
artist has taken the Blues Album Of The Year award.
