A great backstage shot from the @StiffRecords tour! Who knows (nose?) what is happening here...
Another 'Erica Reacts...' video -this time she looks at Billericay Dickie!
It's always interesting to see what new audiences think!
A really classic photo of future Blockhead Wilko Johnson! No doubt this is in the 1960s... not sure entirely what year though!
Mick Jones live version Train in Vain from 2009 for the Rock n Roll public library launch
The Blockheads + Clash shared management + road crew around those times, just before Kosmo Vinyl left the Blockhead camp to work permanently with @TheClash
On this day, Guy Fawkes Night (November 5, 1977) we concluded the legendary Stiff Records "Live Stiffs" UK tour with a final performance at the University of Lancaster.
This historic package tour ran from October 3 to November 5, 1977. and was our first outing as The Blockheads promoting Ian's debut album New Boots and Panties!!
Were you at the Lancaster gig?

It may be trite, but I loved Ians smile at the end of the filmclip for the song, as hes being carried along in the high chair.
Suggs talking about how Ian was their biggest influence! The line ups are pretty much man for man the same, and it is self-evident. But Madness are a class act and ploughed their own furrow to great success!
