Wilko Johnson & Band + Mark Radcliffe & The Big Figures Oil City Confidential Live, Holmfirth

(featuring Wilko Johnson )

Venue: Holmfirth, Picturedrome

Julian Temples Oil City Confidential tells the story early Dr  Feelgood...four men  in cheap suits who crashed out of Canvey Island in the early '70's, sandpapered the face of rock'n'roll, leaving all that came before a burnt-out ruin - four estuarine John-the-Baptists to Johnny Rotten's anti-Christ. Taking London by storm, they sped through Europe and  conquered the UK with No 1 chart success, before imploding just as punk was born and  America beckoned with open arms. Featuring the legendary original Feelgood guitarist Wilko Johnson & band + special Guest BBC Radio 2's Mark  Radcliffe & The Big Figures, Oil City Confidential live is a twin barrelled shot gun of a show dedicated not only to the high octane explosive garage blues of early Dr Feelgood but also to some of the bands, music and musicians that inspired them at the time.
