Oi Oi! Does this band need any introduction? One of the most legendary bands in the history of British Rock n Roll, originally with genius front man Ian Dury. Half of us reading this will undoubtedly have 'Hit me with your Rhythm Stick' firmly imprinted on our minds.
When we called the band up and asked if they'd come to Malmesbury it was a definite yes, such is the spirit of these good time rockers and we couldn't be happier.
Guaranteed to play all the classics with at least three original members and new front man Mike Bennett (who not only sounds like the inimitable Ian but looks like him too).
New lead singer Mike Bennett, only half a dozen shows into the role, does a great job with Dury's quirky lyrics. His animated stage presence and crowd engagement create a lively show. A unique feature of the band was always the danceable jazz arrangements of Chas Jankel juxtaposed with the often monotone delivery of Dury. His sometimes complex but always insightful lyrics can be tongue-twisters at times but Bennett navigates the task well and has the crowd joining him on the best known songs. - The News, Portsmouth
