Are 'The Blockheads' still backing Bob on the current tour?
Permalink  
 


Hi Newbie here.

When I saw Bob at the Sands Centre in Carlisle 7 or 8 years ago he was backed by Norman Watt-Roy, John Turnbull and Mick Gallagher.

As a fan of both Ian Dury and The Loving Awareness Band as well as Bob, it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

So, having spotted that Bob's at The Lowry on Sunday 20th November, I was wondering whether they're still backing Bob or not?

John Turnbull is with Geldof, and doing a great job.

Do I take it from that answer that Norman and Mick aren't?

Not in current tour/band (says me, who professes not to be a Geldof fan smile). Pretty (as in 100%) certain on that answer though.

Johnny said he won't be at St Albans as he'll be with the Blockheads but I didn't ask him about the other gigs as I won't be there. Someone called Paul something is taking his place. Will miss him.

Johnny is not doing Manchester either. I met the new guitarist. He is YOUNG.
