I think I first registered Wilko Johnson’s unmistakable blend of goofy and sinister presence when he was with Ian Dury & the Blockheads. Check out his brief but unforgettable self-intro here:

The Blockheads were my first favourite band & I feel lucky to have been a kid when a diverse, anarchic, queer-coded (as they say now), musically adventurous & lyrically mischevious group were on TV & radio. Wilko was a latecomer to the band but he fitted in beautifully. RIP.
