Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll

#1 Post by phunkygal » Fri Dec 18, 2009 11:44 am

Sex & Drugs & Rock& Roll tells the story of Ian Dury (Andy Serkis), lead singer of the Blockheads who, severely disabled by polio as a boy, defied the odds to become one of Britain’s most original and influential singer-songwriters. Artist, actor, the Godfather of punk, husband, lover and errant father, Ian Dury was the man who put the phrase “Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll” into the English language. Bill Milner plays Ian’s son Baxter with Olivia Williams as his first wife Betty, Naomie Harris plays Ian’s on-off girlfriend Denise and Tom Hughes plays Chaz Jankel, Ian’s songwriting partner in the Blockheads. The cast is rounded out by Toby Jones as Hargreaves, the young Ian’s tyrant schoolmaster, Noel Clarke as sound engineer Desmond, Mackenzie Crook as Russell, Ian’s bandmate in the ‘Kilburn & the High Roads’ and Ray Winstone as Ian’s dad Bill.

Cov Garden was already sold out before I found it so if anyone does ever check in the future and theres tix left please book me a couple - id much prefer this to its complicated

This is definitely one which I would love to see. My husband enjoys Ian Dury and the Blockheads' music. He saw the Blockheads recently up here in a smallish venue, and said they were still good. He would be keen to see this biopic.

And we will be going!! How good is that? Hubby is very happy at the prospect of a free film that he actually wants to see. :P

I managed to get tickets for West India Quays but would have preferred Covent Garden which was sold out. :wall:
