Re: Wilko Johnson RIP
RIP Wilko. I was fortunate to see him a few times.
He did well to survive Pancreatic cancer, for as long as he did.

Re: Wilko Johnson RIP
As well as being a fan of his music,I also followed his battle against this disease, having lost a couple of close family members to it. He was touring as recently as last month.

Re: Wilko Johnson RIP
Sad news. I saw him at Colne Blues a few years ago. Just listen to him play live on this video.

Re: Wilko Johnson RIP
What a shame.
His strutting whilst playing Roxette was truly iconic.

Re: Wilko Johnson RIP
Really sad news. Not just the strutting, his playing style was fairly unique also. Wilko was one of those artists who made me want to learn to play guitar. Don't You Leave Me Here - Wilko Johnson : My Life is a really good read. He comes across as having been a genuinely decent, down to earth chap. RIP Wilko and thank you.
Re: Wilko Johnson RIP
Funnily enough he bumped into a doctor who said he could help him and obviously did for some time. RIP.

Re: Wilko Johnson RIP

Re: Wilko Johnson RIP
I’m the other way round. Never saw him live on his own but saw Dr Feelgood supporting Hawkwind back in the day. Didnt like the Feelgoods overly but always appreciated Wilco’s playing. Wish I’d seen him in his own.expoultryboy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 1:08 pmSad sad day . Saw him in April with Norman and he was still as good as ever .

Re: Wilko Johnson RIP
Never liked Dr Feelgood much until I saw this footage a couple of years ago showing how good they were live.

Re: Wilko Johnson RIP
Interesting song, Lee played the slide lead on that. Supported the Feelgoods a good few times in the 70s, man that band could drink. Wilko top guy, a true gent.Vintage Claret wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 4:47 pmSad news.
Never saw Wilko live but did see a live version of Dr. Feelgood at The Mechanics a few years back (I think there was only one original band member but still very good)
One of my favorites Back in the night..

As has been said, did well to survive this horrible disease for so long (lost my mum to it aged just 46)
RIP Wilko

Re: Wilko Johnson RIP
Just seen this. Absolutely gutted. Had a pint with him at Buddy Ascott’s 60th, treated me like he’d known me all his life.
I know a lot of London musicians that will inconsolable tonight, he was universally liked.
R.I.P Wilko. Sorry I never did get to see you play.

Re: Wilko Johnson RIP
Saw Wilko supporting The Stranglers about 7/8 years ago - by all accounts he' should have already been dead but he'd definitely still got it on stage - top class
The Feelgoods were an immense live band Stupidlty is a fine album. Latterly accompanied by a dvd which really captures them at their best
Often described as the godfathers of punk - with good reason
Sad day

Re: Wilko Johnson RIP
Absolutely gutted. A great guy who has documented his illness,details of which can be found
on YouTube.
Here he is explaining the origin and style of his playing technique with a demonstration.
