He did Portsmouth Poly SU one time in early 80s,. I had the new *German* girlfriend with me, Marlene. We were propping up the bar when he came on & I said "Cmon Marl we've got to get to the front" "Why? We can hear ok from here". "No, the front. You need to see his eyes." 2 songs later she's screaming down my ear [put on your best German accent] "Dave I know you like him but he looks like he comes from an asylum!" She's been a Wilko fan ever since :o)

You implied that the Feelgoods were the first punk band. I don’t need to be a music historian to know the difference between RnB and punk - I’m old enough to have lived through that era and whilst I thought Dr Feelgood were a breath of fresh air to the music scene in the early/mid 70s, punk (in my opinion) destroyed it (in much the same way as rap has done more recently).

@@333daveh5 Hmmm….you need to read between the lines a bit more intuitively, I think. What I was implying was that the Feelgoods brought a punk sensibility which definitely influenced many young London musicians at the time. These were as diverse as Joe Strummer, Billy Bragg and Ian Drury, who all acknowledged the influence of the Feelgoods on the punk scene. The fact that you don’t like punk is irrelevant.

The style of Wilko's playing made me an instant fan, and I have tried to keep up with him and his music ever since. " She Does It Right" is a staple on my playlist. So, when I found out today that he had died, I just want to say how lucky I am to have found his music. I don't think anyone can ever replicate his intense style. I am thankful for the opportunity to have experienced such a talented musician. RIP Wilko.

Always have liked the sound of one great guitarist carrying the song single-handedly - note the Feelgoods or Rush or Zeppelin or Cream. Always thought the Stones or Aerosmith could have dumped one guitarist. Just my feeling right now when listening to Dr Feelgood.
