Ian Dury   1942-2000

Ian Dury (...) was one of few true originals

of the English music scene,

the only man to successfully combine

the energy and excitement of rock 'n' roll and funk

with the bawdy humour, wit and home-spun

philosophy of music-hall and of his native Essex.

The fact that he had been crippled since childhood,

and was severely ill

during his final years as a performer,

merely added to his stature.

He was truly brave

- both physically and in the way

he approached his music.
