Wilko Johnson Kicks-Off UK Tour This Week & Tickets

Wilko Johnson, guitarist and founding member of Dr. Feelgood, who has influenced everyone from Joe Strummer, Mick Jones to Steve Albini, starts his nationwide UK tour at the Edinburgh Caves this Thursday, September 15th. 

Wilko first made his name in 1971 when he formed Dr. Feelgood; a British pub rock band from Canvey Island, Essex. Known for their electrifying concerts, their first two albums, 'Down by the Jetty' (1974) and 'Malpractice' (1975), were immensely popular and their 1976 live album, 'Stupidity' went to Number One in the UK’s official album chart.

By the time Dr. Feelgood released their 1977 fourth album, 'Sneakin’ Suspicion', Johnson left the group and to pursue a solo career, and joined Ian Dury and the Blockheads in 1980.
 
In 2009, Johnson starred in Julien Temple’s “Oil City Confidential,” a feature film documentary about Dr. Feelgood, and recently starred in HBO's fantasy TV series “Game of Thrones.”

Johnson will be joined by Norman Watt-Roy on bass and Dylan Howe on drums. Special guest on the tour is award-winning blues guitarist/singer Ian Siegal.
