The fifth title of this exclusive and all new DVD collection for fans, we take an inside look at the British rock-n-roll singer, lyricist, bandleader and actor Ian Dury the man who rose to fame during the late 1970s, during the punk and New Wave era of rock music.
Best known as the founder and lead singer of his band Ian Dury and the Blockheads, he released a host of seminal songs most notably Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, What A Waste and the UK chart-topping single Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick. He toured extensively with his band over the years with the likes of Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe and Larry Wallis and released a dozen albums, with New Boots and Panties going platinum in 1977. After his death from liver cancer in 2000, Suggs, the singer with Madness, described him as "possibly the finest lyricist we've seen."
This brand new DVD release to coincide with the 10th anniversary of Durys death is a collection of rare footage, featuring original film and videos of the singer, newsreels and photographs from private collections.
Other Events to support release:
The biopic Sex, Drugs & Rock & Roll was released in cinemas in January 2010, chronicling Durys rise to fame, his battle with polio and the legacy he left behind.
