Oil City Confidential Live

In early 2010, Julian Temple’s film Oil City Confidential told the story early Dr Feelgood... four men in cheap suits who crashed out of Canvey Island in the early 70s, sandpapered the face of rock ‘n’ roll, leaving all that came before a burnt-out ruin - four estuarine John-the-Baptists to Johnny Rotten’s anti-Christ. Taking London by storm, they sped through Europe and conquered the UK with No 1 chart success, before imploding just as punk was born and America beckoned with open arms. Now, featuring the legendary original Feelgood guitarist Wilko Johnson & band, Oil City Confidential Live is a twin-barrelled shot gun of a show dedicated not only to the high-octane explosive garage blues of early Dr Feelgood but also to some of the bands, music and musicians that inspired them at the time.
