Yes Robert, they been displaced by our children's generation moving in en masse to Hackney. Canvey might be one of the last cheap places to live in the south of England.

Canvey is a spooky place, with these days a large Orthodox Jewish population.

Weird, bleak, wildness, tenderness and the Feelgoods all in one place. Magnificently done Mark.

I thank you, Ronnie.

Until I re-watched Julian Temple's documentary I had forgotten what a bloody good bloke Wilko Johnson was and what a bloody good live band the Feelgoods were.

I was just that bit too young to have seen them.

I saw them on the tour that resulted in the Feelgoods Live album. They were ferociously good, but then Wilco left soon after.
