    Restoring Wilko Johnson's Telecaster

    Light on tech info, heavy on the European accent (unsure of the exact origin) but interesting nonetheless, whether or not you're familiar with Johnson...I wasn't, but plan on getting familiar with his material now. Very cool playing style.

    Thanks for sharing BT.
    If my memory serves me correctly he was in The Blockheads,,Ian Drury's band and I saw him when they toured Oz about 25 years ago.

    Not sure if he toured with the Blockheads.

    Great video

    Wlko was with Dr Feelgood when I saw them live at the Gateshead International Stadium. According to Wkipedia he also played with the blockheads (never realised that).

    A quick google check : Phillipe Dubreuille is French having also worked in the UK. Check out his site at
