Fun fact: my brother-in-law was a roadie for him for years, and his photo is on one of Dury's album covers.

Mrs DCH makes me turn that off if she is in the car. I have tried to get her to listen to the beautiful musical arrangement, especially during the final four minutes or so but for some reason the repetition of the title seems to upset her

What a waste...

Not of that generation (soz) so never really listened to his music but do love his son, Baxter Dury's stuff. Have some merch of his in the form of tote bag saying, Bagster Dury.

Sorry bit of a tangent.

Really?
I haven’t heard anyone use soz since I was at junior school Ian Dury and the Blockheads also released their first album when I was in the last year of the school.

My Ol'man loved, him me not so much, but appreciate the music so to speak, just don't like it much.
Apparently he was a massive Gene Vincent fan, go figure...

Yep, went concert, one of many in 1979 pending having kids!

Yep, went concert made in 1979 pending having kids!

I went to that one, I was about 14 and me and a mate got in for nothing, went to the door round the back of the Brighton Centre and told the chap on the door we were on the guest list because we helped the roadies with the equipment in the afternoon.
We definitely were not on the guest list but he let us in after a sob sob story of us working hard all afternoon and the roadie forgetting to add us to the list.
