The Blockheads started out as the band behind Ian Dury, rising to prominence from the early days of the Stiff tour in 1977. They are the outfit that brought you hits including 'Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick', 'What a Waste', 'Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)', and 'Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll'.

Rarely off the road since the passing of Ian Dury in 2000, The Blockheads remain one of the most underrated British bands of all time, with a loyal following that spans all ages.
