I grew up in the folk world and always thought the reason for Ian Dury and the Blockheads acceptance in it was down to his love of music hall. The folk music hall link is strong and why I visited this site.. I am however above all a Blockheads fan and I can't help wanting to promote them. The Blocks are still going strong and are bringing out there second album this year to coincide with their 30th Anniversay!!Check their web site www.theblockheads.com ! Happy music making people.
