Sad news.

I was fortunate enough to see Dr Feelgood live back in 1975 in Liverpool when I was a student. Famous for their short quick fire numbers in their live act - no noodling around with extended guitar solos.

RIP Wilko

Saw Wilko and his Solid Senders back in the day at the Marquee and Deptford Albany. Couldn't keep my eyes off him.Was a bit scary but I was absolutely mesmerised at his sound and style. RIP Wilko. Ollie's Dad,Ash.

So sad. Saw Wilko first when he played with the Blockheads and latterly when he toured with Roger Daltry

We will not see his like again

God bless Wilko rest in peace

Saw Wilco on his farewell tour, over in Camden somewhere. Can’t believe that was ten years ago. He posted once that his guitar style owed a lot to Mick Green, from Johnny Kidd and the Pirates. RIP Wilco.

There was a documentary on BBC 4 night before last (Fri 13th - Sat 14th) called Imagine, basically Wilko talking about his impending death with some great clips of the man and it's a great watch for those of you with catch up TV.
