Wilko Johnson for The Wedgewood Rooms

A few years ago, at the Blues On The Farm Festival just outside Chichester, I stumbled upon a jaw-dropping sight; a mad-eyed bald man pinballing around the stage, fixing the audience with an electrically charged stare, all the while delivering scorching riffs aplenty.

I'll have another chance to experience this spectable when Wilko Johnson, for it was he, plays The Wedgewood Rooms on Sunday 23rd October. Ably backed by Dylan Howe on drums and virtuoso bass player Norman Watt-Roy, the ex-Blockhead and ex-Dr. Feelgood guitarist has visited Pompey several times over the years (notably to highly appreciative audiences at The Cellars) but now brings
his solo set to a larger venue. 

Tickets are available from the venue now, priced at £12.50, with support from recent Showcase entrants The Vortex Buzz and local legends The Good Time Charlies.


Update: Support band details refreshed.
