"Starting out as the band behind Ian Dury, the Blockheads are a legendary outfit that has grown in stature from the early days of the Stiff tour in 1977, right up to the present day. Backing up Ian Dury's poetic lyrics, this is the band that brought you 'Hit Me with your Rhythm Stick', 'What A Waste', 'Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)', and 'Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll', among many others.
Rarely off the road since the demise of Ian Dury in 2000, the Blockheads are still one of the most underrated British bands of all time, with a legion of fans of all ages."
eXTC
For almost four decades, XTC fans could only dream of witnessing the sensational XTC classic songbook played live.
That dream has now become a reality. XTC’s legendary drummer, Terry Chambers, is back on the road with his band eXTC (named and approved by XTC frontman, Andy Partridge).
Emerging out of the post-punk and new-wave explosion of the late 70s. XTC experienced global success, touring with the likes of The Police and Talking Heads. Sadly, their legions of loyal fans would be left in limbo, when in 1982 XTC stopped touring, becoming a studiobased entity. Now, forty years on, those loyal fans can once again experience all the XTC classics performed live to audiences across the globe.
eXTC– XTCs Terry Chambers and friends take you on a journey through time as they work their way through the XTC back catalogue including the hits, Senses Working Overtime, Making Plans for Nigel, Sgt Rock, Life Begins at the Hop, Dear God, Mayor of Simpleton, and many more!
