Ian Dury (with Bob Hoskins) - The Gaby Roslin Show

[@amandajones6481]

I never realised what a lovely bloke Ian Dury is. Just the fact that he thinks he's been lucky in his life says so much about his character and decency.

[@pikeymikey47]

Truly a lovely bloke 🙏

[@jimmyjimmy7532]

Very talented man backed up by a fantastic band. Sadly missed. RIP Ian

[@paulbillerey1594]

I met lan Dury he came to my disabled school several times in South London back in the 1970s what a great man he was one of the best nice one.

🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍

[@trevorbrown6654]

@@mallinalii I only ever got to see him live once (with The Blockheads), at Madstock in Finsbury Park back in 1992. They were old hat even then but absolutely excellent to watch. I would love to have met him but would have had absolutely no idea what to say to him other than thank him for his incredible contribution to British music.

[@mallinalii]

@@trevorbrown6654 yeah understand. but so cool you saw him live!!!

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

The way Ian Dury described himself with regards to physical disability was inspirational to me. It's 2022 now and he has always been a Legend in my eyes.

[@StewartNicolasBILLYCONNOLLY]

Ian, labelled by society as disabled. Labelled by the musical community as a GIANT! X

[@NewExile]

Add that to his epitaph

[@robinsalario4372]

yes and by every fan also. because he did it.

Lovely comment!

Had the good fortune to meet Ian after his show at Wellington , New Zealand in the Mid? eighties , we were at the hotel/motel House Bar where Ian and the Blockheads were staying. Great guy but he had tobacco mixed with his bag of pot , i told him to be my guest and try our Maori Wowie , he thought I said the Hawaiian pot , Maui wowie , until i told him that no , it was grown here in Kiwiville , by a Maori named Howie. Was a great guy and wrote me a sonnet , and signed my mates leather jacket... " Leather of the Weather ", a great night indeed was had by all. RIP the pair of you guys.

Ian's songs were, and still are, fantastic! They have a great sound which still sounds great today and they have these fantastic lyrics which paint you an image and tell brilliant stories with those words with which he has a magic way in making you feel something. Just one of those artists that, you know as soon as you pop his stuff on, you're in for a real treat! Miss him and his unique and brilliant sound. Fantastic artist.

Legends, both of these two.

[@RM-pn5tq]

I grew with ian dury songs hearing them from my parents, and at 13 I was him at the great mud fest at Glastonbury in 1985. Since then I often listened to music but it was only since the internet and documentaries that leant about his polo and disability. I dont think that question half was through is valid.

[@ShikiraPressley]

condensing presenters, what do they ever know of a brilliance of life that can never be fathomed - Ian had depths that no stiff human could ever reach, not because he was particularly complex, yet because he was right and raw on cue. A beautiful and amazing man, even his children equally as phenomenal - would have given my limbs to have met him, spoken to him and shared a united tipple.

[@louielewis8845]

You are So right mate!!!!!

[@blackmore4]

Oh please... you must realise that fanboy complaint about "the presenters" is THE most cliched comment on KZbin. Of course Dury was a beautiful genius but why the hell should an inoffensive blow-dried-prime-time-skirt-for-the-masses interviewer have to be the same? There was absolutely no "condescension" whatsoever. Sure most of her questions were pretty banal but I for one certainly enjoyed Dury's responses.

[@Maryonpark]

I don't think Ian Dury or Bob Hoskins thought of her as condescending. I think it's more you thinking too much into what they're thinking. Gabby Roslin is respected in the UK.
