Dr Feelgood's Wilko Johnson

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie are joined by singer, guitarist and songwriter Wilko Johnson, who talks about his autobiography.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie's guest today is singer, guitarist, songwriter Wilko Johnson. Wilko Johnson is a guitarist and founding member of Dr. Feelgood, who has influenced everyone from Joe Strummer, Mick Jones to Steve Albini. In 1971, Wilko first made his name when he formed Dr. Feelgood; a British pub rock band from Canvey Island, Essex. Known for their high energy live performances, their 1976 breakthrough live album, Stupidity reached No.1 in the official UK album chart. By the time Dr. Feelgood released their fourth album, Sneakin' Suspicion (1977), Johnson left the group to pursue a solo career. By 1980, Johnson joined Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Recently Johnson featured in Julien Temple's Oil City Confidential; a full-length feature film documentary about Dr. Feelgood, and appears as Royal Executioner Ser Illyn Payne in HBO's fantasy series Game of Thrones. He's here to talk about his new biography with all his latest travails and also his early love of the Blues...
