Wilko Johnson

[Trufflehound]

I'd be very surprised if they did any Wilco tunes!

You never know. They might squeeze in a crafty a capella version of Impossible Germany.

Wilko was on the Shaun Keavney show this morning, the Shaun Keavney podcast is available here:

Wilko has been announced as appearing at some of the Quo frantic four gigs, which means I get to see him again in March, well chuffed with that news!

Around 7:10 this morning Radio 2 played "I Keep It To Myself" from the forthcoming collaboration album with talented newcomer Roger Daltrey. Sounded great, don't anticipate that it will be heard much on Heart though. Not sure if it is a single, wonder how many downloads are needed to make it chart??

It is a single - I've heard it on R2 and agree with you it is a great version.

He's appearing at Shepherds Bush O2 tonight with Roger Daltrey. Despite my best efforts, no luck with blagging a ticket.

I tried and failed to get a ticket for tonight. I have got one to see him next month supporting Quo at Hammersmith however :guitar:

I believe Roger Daltrey is appearing on the Chris Evans show on Radio 2 on Friday. Maybe to promote the album (maybe not). Might be worth a listen.

 

[Since1982]

Sounds like a decent turnout of Seagulls at the Quo gigs at Hammersmith. I'm there on the Friday and thrilled to get the chance to see Wilko. Anyone else there that night?

 

[foul old ron]

I saw the frantic four last year but didn't realise they were coming round again. Just ordered myself a couple of tickets so thanks for the info.

...And the very best of luck to him, sounds a pretty drastic piece of surgery but hope it has the desired effect
