Steve Browning Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 14 minutes ago, Beedster said: BBC News today described how Wilko, who'd played with the Feelgoods since 1972, enjoyed a four-decade career. I not normally angered by poor maths but today i was. Five decades of honest, take it or leave it, straight ahead gigging. Well done Wilko, hope you and Lee are enjoying a glass or two and a bit of reminiscing this evening 🍻 Lee may be keeping Wilko and Gypie Mayo apart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I missed this sad news yesterday. I must have been too wrapped up in the World cup.... This is such sad news. I saw him live a few times. He appeared at Cambridge Folk Festival several years back, and I can recall the sheer joy he just "exuded" after the Surgeons there had saved his life from the huge tumour he had. As others have said, at least it gave us a bit more time with him. RIP Wilko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldman Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Just copped this in the Times, I too saw the band in Aberdeen, with Wilko, without him again Aberdeen, Aberdeen again with next guy and Leicester where I got castigated for calling the last iteration (6 years ago) a tribute band as there were no original members! A phenomenal guitarist with a style that was never perfected by Anyone else. Saw him with Normal Watt Roy as well, somewhere, Aberdeen’s Lemon Tree, brilliant.
