Wilko Johnson and special guest John Otway
Date Friday 15th July 2022 Time 7:00 pm Price £35.75 Call 0871 220 0260 Tickets Click Here -
Following a remarkable recovery from a diagnosis of terminal cancer, Wilko Johnson the original Dr Feelgood guitarist , actor (Game of Thrones character Ser ilyn Payne) and all round national treasure has enjoyed a rousing return to the live arena, including a number 1 album with Roger Daltrey (Going Back Home), a sold out show at The Royal Albert Hall to mark his 70th birthday and, most recently, the release of Blow Your Mind, his first album of new material in decades.
Wilko is famed for his blistering chop-chord strumming action (the ‘stab’, as he describes it), a technique inspired by his admiration of the late Pirates guitarist Mick Green. With this electrifying sound, his trademark black-suited, scowling look and his characteristic strut, Wilko became one of the guitar heroes of the 1970s and beyond, not to mention on of rock ’n’ roll’s most extraordinary characters. He, alongside his original Feelgood bandmates, is also widely acknowledged as a forefather of punk on both sides of the Atlantic, fans ranging from Joe Strummer to Blondie.
Following a stint with Ian Dury & The Blockheads in the 1980s, he formed the Wilko Johnson Band, with Blockheads bassist Norman Watt-Roy. Featuring former Blockhead Dylan Howe on drums, the trio is known as one of the most exciting r’n’b bands in the world today.
Special guest 'Rock and Roll's Greatest Failure John Otway

Orchestras for All (OFA) is excited to announce that its National Orchestra for All (NOFA) will be performing a powerful end-of-season concert this summer – and we would love for you to join us!
Titled ‘The Way We See It’, the musical extravaganza – which is free to attend – is due to take place at the Albert Hall Conference Centre in Nottingham on Friday 29 July at 3:00p.m. and will celebrate all that our epic orchestra has achieved over the past two years.
From stomping Balkan tunes and anthemic clubby dance, to rousing Romantic music and Britten’s iconic 1945 work, ‘The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra’ – including newly-written spoken words – the eclectic programme of music will surely make it an afternoon to remember.
Artistic Director at Orchestras for All, Emma Oliver-Trend, said: “We are all feeling really excited about NOFA’s summer concert. The friendship, commitment to the orchestra and love of music really shine through in our young people’s performance.
“This is a showcase of some superb orchestral music and hopefully, with something for everyone. I'm particularly excited that we are finding fun and easy ways for the audience to get involved in the performance too, so they get to share in the joy that is NOFA. A fun, friendly, family concert!”
Aged between 11 and 19, NOFA’s diverse young members come from all corners of the country and thanks to our charity’s fully-inclusive, non-auditioned programme, they have been able to experience the joy of group music-making regardless of the daily barriers they face.
Orchestras for All is also working in close partnership with The Trinity Catholic School as part of the event, with a few of its pupils performing live alongside NOFA.
Our NOFA Programme Manager, Paula, is available to discuss any queries or access needs. You can contact Paula via email at paula.morgan@orchestrasforall.org
Finally, to set the tone here’s a video of some of our NOFA members performing moving solos at our recent recital evening:
