The Blockheads are a legendary band, still going strong. Since 2002 they have rarely been off the road, playing literally hundreds of dates. Tonight they will play all the classics such as Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick, Reasons To Be Cheerful, Sex And drugs And Rock And Roll and many more.

They released a brand new studio album via EMI entitled Staring Down The Barrel in April 2009 and the current line-up includes Chaz Jankel (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Norman Watt-Roy (bass), Mickey Gallagher (Hammond Organ, piano, synths), John Turnbull (guitar, vocals), Dylan Howe (drums), Gilad Atzmon (sax), and Derek The Draw (aka Derek Hussey; vocals). Derek was Dury's oldest friend and minder, and co-wrote all the songs with Jankel on the forthcoming album.

Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, the Ian Dury Biopic is released on January 8th 2010 and has been praised for the central performance by Andy Serkis. The band have provided the music for the film.
