Big thanks to Chris Hawkins and BBC Radio 6 Music team for playing our Trunk of Punk and for giving the podcast a massive plug on national radio. open.spotify.com/show/6izH1UMQa… Interesting Norman Collier style remix of Do The Dog by The Specials - nice to see it getting daytime airplay.

Sad news to hear about the passing of Keith Levene. Lucky enough to have had the opportunity to talk to him about his career with PiL and early days with The Clash and Flowers of Romance. A fascinating fella & an excellent guitarist who knew how to push the envelope. RIP Keith

This is the announcement we never wanted to make, & we do so with a very heavy heart: Wilko Johnson has died. He passed away at home on Monday 21st November. Thank you for respecting the family's privacy at this very sad time. RIP Wilko Johnson. (Image: Leif Laaksonen)

Wilko Johnson was a precursor of punk. His guitar playing was angry and angular, but his presence - twitchy, confrontational, out of control - was something we'd never beheld before in UK pop. Rotten, Strummer and Weller learned a lot from his edgy demeanour. He does it right RIP

Sad news Wilko Johnson has passed away. 2 years ago Wilko kindly spent an afternoon looking back on his life for our podcast. At the time he was shielding & his frustration at being shut away was evident. Thankfully he got the chance to play gigs again RIP open.spotify.com/episode/4PPuY2…

What an excellent evening O2 Ritz Manchester with Yard Act & Panic Shack two exciting bands on top of their game.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing, following a brief illness, of Terry, our beautiful friend, brother and one of the most brilliant singers, songwriters and lyricists this country has ever produced. (1/4)

I did an interview with Vive Le Rock about Keith Levene and there is a nice feature on him in this month's magazine.

Once you’ve listened to Fuzzcast #5 - Memories a Tribute to Keith Levene .., Recommended festive listening Jane Horrocks shares intimate letters from her fling with Ian Dury Fascinating insight into Ian’s character & vulnerability - great production bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Nice mentions of Wilko here, and also Keith Levene, both of whom we miss very much. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Really enjoyed watching The Ecstasy of Wilko Johnson again last night on BBC4 Julian Temple’s excellent film on Wilko Johnson’s remarkable story of beating his terminal cancer diagnosis is even more poignant since his passing. Catch it on iPlayer bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

This morning punk legend Spizz Energi 💙NHS was on BBC Breakfast talking about a house built in a skip. Not sure if reporter Tim Moffat realised he had the Where’s Captain Kirk singer in this report.

What an excellent night The Deaf Institute Manchester. The wonderful Hotel Lux with support from @thebandsoup & brand new band Morton Betts (2nd gig) providing the evidence there are still plenty of great British bands with something to say.

A genuine genius Shane MacGowan 1957-2023
