R.I.P Wilko

Sad news that Wilko Johnson passed away.A local legend in the Southend & Canvey island areas,they don't make many like him!

Sort of, Family had a 'shack' on Canvey...loved it, we went there in the summer until it got flogged for a villa in spain instead, some shack, some Villa!
I only knew Wilko through the thriving pub circuit that pre-dated Punk, I used to live right round the corner from the Kensington, which was the best venue to play, it had the prettiest girls.

Yes one of the good guys, went to see him when he played with Ian Dury back when I was 17 at Hammersmith Palais. A true guitar innovator and all round nice bloke...
