High-energy rhythm and blues show of classic Dr. Feelgood songs from the 1970s Wilko and 'Gypie' Mayo periods.
The Feelgood Band play Wrecking Ball Arts Centre on Sunday 22 November, a matinee that runs from 2pm to 4pm. They're a rhythm and blues outfit built around the classic Dr. Feelgood sound of the 1970s, specifically the Wilko Johnson and 'Gypie' Mayo periods. If you know that era, you'll know the territory: lean, high-energy R&B with a sharp, driving edge.
That particular sound has earned them a nod from the original camp. Wilko himself called it 'the closest thing I have seen to the originals', and Sparko added 'well done boys'. It's a tribute that doesn't just lean on the name, but sticks close to the way those early records actually sounded.
On stage, the band is Mark Sibley on lead vocals, harmonica and slide guitar; Gary Choules on bass and backing vocals; Kevin Webb on lead guitar and backing vocals; and Uncle Roy Webber on drums. Between them, they cover the ground that made Dr. Feelgood a fixture of the pub-rock scene — the slide, the harmonica, and the tight, interlocking guitar work.
