A very special event has just been announced! Wilko will be in conversation at the Wanstead Tap on Wednesday July 24th (and it is rumoured he will be bringing his guitar…). Hosting the chat will be ‘Wilko Johnson – Looking Back At Me’ co-author / Lee Brilleaux biographer Zoë Howe.
‘From what I could see from the script, all I had to do was go around giving people dirty looks…’ Wilko reveals to Metro his memories of playing the formidable Ser Ilyn Payne (who is still on Arya Stark’s kill list), amid Game Of Thrones season 8 fever!
Check out this excellent, in-depth and typically humorous interview with the man himself in Guitar Exchange magazine. Many thanks to journalist Paul Rigg.
The UK tour is underway – thanks to everyone who has attended shows so far!
Here are a couple of excellent new in-depth interviews, specifically in support of the Southampton (March 9th) and Newcastle (March 15th) dates. Enjoy!
Need a little reading matter to round off the week? Here’s a lovely interview with Wilko in Guitar World. Thanks to Mark McStea for spreading the ‘Blow Your Mind’ gospel across the pond!
‘Anyone who’s ever loved Wilko’s music has got a major treat in store with Blow Your Mind. After the audience-broadening appeal of the Daltrey collaboration, hopefully this release will cement his new-found status and finally get him the recognition he deserves Stateside.’

Thanks to gentleman Gideon Coe for featuring this slice of live vintage Wilko / Solid Senders! Still time to listen again.
