No football here Tim and the least said the better !

I must admit that the first thing that comes to my mind when Dr Feelgood is mentioned is a 7" single of that name by Dr Feelgood and the Interns, released in 1962! (Yes, I bought a copy).

I've just watched The Ecstacy of Wilko Johnson, which is rather good. Rather pretentious (it's introduced by Alan Yentob and directed by Julien Temple, so to be expected), but it's worth a watch if you're already a Wilko fan.

Did see a programme some time back on Canvey Island and the blues scene including Wilko, was that the same program Paul . Most enjoyable .

I don't think it was. Sounds more like Oil City Confidential - also by Julien Temple, also VG.

Just had to look them up on Discogs…….not a name I was familiar with. That’s a rare bird in the UK….In decent condition could be worth a few quid…..real R and B, love it!

Out if interest, is the B side (Mr Moonlight) the song covered by the Beatles on Beatles for sale?

I'm not sure Tim, I'm not a big fan of the Beatles so I don't have any of their records. I do have an autographed copy of "Lennon in his own write", but he autographed it "To Bill, with love from Mum" so it's pretty much worthless.

Not worthless. Almost any genuine Lennon autograph is worth a few bob, £50-£100.

Obviously, you can add a few zeroes for something like a signed set of lyrics or 'artwork'!

As a very green young man I did some shows with Wilko, post Dr Feelgood, when he had his own band, the 'Solid Senders' (with Steve Lewins (Sp?), also no longer with us).
Wilko was a gentleman in all the dealings we had with him, not as far up his own behind as many I could mention, and a much under rated guitarist.

Just browsing the forum and came across this one.
I remember seeing Dr feelgood live and was fascinated by the way Wilco strutted the stage while playing great guitar :astonished:

I saw Dr Feelgood in my home town 30yrs ago, in a theatre, he jumped off the stage and went through a grand piano.......... he was a dude RIP Wilco
