Wilko Johnson - A dying wish is granted!!!
***1/2
Wilko Rocks Cornbury with grace!
Wilko Johnson ***1/2 (Pleasant Valley Stage) is best known for being the singer of Dr. Feelgood is sadly dying of terminal cancer and one of his wishes was to play at this years Cornbury Festival. So it was really nice to have his wish granted and to be added to the festival line-up.
When the news came that he only has a couple of months to live, Wilko didn't not go into self pit he had a determiation to be more alive than he has ever been before, playing shows all around the World to packed audiences. The shows Include Japan after the festival and an amazing tour performance to a Sold Out London Koko early on this year.
So many people want to make sure they see a living legend while they can. He is really lively on stage you would not believe that he is dying because he has such life in him pulling faces at the audience and his band. He performs classic material from his solo records and classic Dr. Feelgood numbers like 'Roxette' which sounds equally as good as it did when it was first played, so everyone is left with what they came for and glad they could see him for one last time. Left with the amazing sounds of 'Woolly Bully' is enough to make anyone's day.
