1. Such an interesting life and Ian was so talented.
As far as I can tell he never toured with the Blockheads as far West as Los Angeles so
we never had a chance to see the band live. If you get a chance read any of the bios of his life; interesting and even inspiring. Tikki Now I am going to brush off my copy of ‘New Boots and Panties’ and take it for a spin. ![]() |

He tore the Odean Theater in half.
This version of the Blockheads had all the talent. Wilko Johnson guitar. Norman Watt Roy bass. Jimmy James on drums. |
