With all do respect, and as an admirer of his style and tone on the guitar, he literally walks back in forth over and over on pretty much all their performances. It's quirky, but I'm not sure I'd characterize him as a showman lol.

When Lee died his suit went on touring for another 6 months.

And that, my friends, is the true spirit of Rock 'n' Roll. A rock solid rhythm section, a truly one-off guitarist, and a front man who looks like he'd rip yer eyeballs right out of yer head. Saw them loads of times, and Wilko's band as well. Absolutely brilliant.

Great band, has all the elements you'd want driving rhythm section with loads of swing, guitar hero and powerhouse lead singer, all leaving everything out there on the stage. Such a pity the classic line up lasted such a short amount of time.

My favorite part of one of his obituaries was when he said he liked blues but there weren’t any mules or cotton farms where he grew up, so he had to write songs with a blues background but incorporating the realities of his English life.

I saw them in Valladolid, Spain, late 80. Brilleaux smoked in spasmodic way many cigarretts. Unforgotable

The show and energy are incredible. I first heard them at 14 and they still sound amazing. One of the forerunners of punk

Raw and authentic. My generation.

Wilko a limited player but in reality no limits in being limited. Beauty is in the ear of the listener

Wilko is still touring, with Norman Watt-Roy and Dylan Howe. They are nothing short of brilliant. It is an amazing uplifting evening. Wilko is a legend. We are blessed that he is well and back on the circuit. Don't dither, buy a ticket and go. They are nothing short of epic.
