Blockheads strike out with their rhythm sticks once again!

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.

The band will be bringing their latest tour to Frome and Oxford.

Rarely off the road since the demise of Ian Dury in 2000, but now with Derek Hussey fronting the band, the Blockheads are still one of the most underrated British bands of all time.

The performance of ‘Spasticus Autisticus’ at the 2012 Para-Olympic Opening Ceremony, and the musical ‘Reasons To be Cheerful’, has seen a resurgence in the band’s popularity over the past couple of years and they continue to go from strength to strength.

The Blockheads will appear at The Cheese and Grain in Frome Saturday 14 October and  Oxford’s O2 Academy Saturday 3 March.
