“Reasons to Be Cheerful: Ian Dury and the Blockheads” is on Radio 2 this Saturday night, and this is what Jane Anderson, radio editor of The Radio Times thinks about it.
“This is, without a doubt, the best biography of a band that I have ever heard. Surviving members of the Blockheads recount their story and that of their singer, Ian Dury, with such energy and honesty that it’s almost as exciting as being at one of their concerts. No punches were pulled about what an absolute pain Dury could be to work with at times, which makes their total admiration for the man and his talent so much more believable”
