Wilko Johnson
The story of Dr Feelgood, four men in cheap suits who crashed out of Canvey Island in the early '70s, sandpapered the face of rock'n'roll, leaving all that came before a burnt-out ruin - four estuarine John-the-Baptists to Johnny Rotten's anti-Christ.

Guitarist/vocalist of Dr. Feelgood, a 70's pub rock band. The live album "Stupidity" reached number 1 on the UK album chart. He created his iconic style called the "Duck Walk" where he zig-zagged across the stage while playing his vintage 1962 Fender Telecaster. Wilko marked a profound influence in the British punk rock movement.

  • Quotes
    You didn't have to dress up in a cape or a pair of tights to see Dr Feelgood. It wasn't like going to see KISS. We had a really strong connection to our audience because of the way we looked and also through the songs. At the time there was a lot of stuff about hobgoblins, rubbish really, that had nothing to do with anything.
