IAN DURY & THE


 BLOCKHEADS

was an English rock and roll singer-songwriter,

bandleader, artist, and actor who initially rose

to fame during the late 1970s, during the punk

and New Wave era of rock music. 

He is best known as founder and lead singer of

the British band Ian Dury and the Blockheads.

Rock & roll has always been populated by

ringe figures, cult artists who managed to

develop a fanatical following because of their

outsized quirks, but few cult rockers have

ever been quite as weird, or beloved, as Ian

Dury. Dury cut a striking figure - he remained

handicapped from a childhood bout with

polio, yet stalked the stage with dynamic

charisma, spitting out music hall numbers and

rockers in his thick Cockney accent.
