When I was living in Lyon, France, Ian Dury and the Blockheads came to the city on tour. I had barely heard of him at the time but was persuaded to go - it stands out in my memory as being one of the very best rock gigs I've seen, and the band were as tight as any bunch of musicians could hope to be. Never thought I'd see him cropping up on Mudcat, though - but then again, why not.
