It’s been a terribly sad couple of weeks for British music.

What an excellent night @DeafInstitute Manchester. The wonderful @hotelluxband with support from @thebandsoup & brand new band Morton Betts (2nd gig) providing the evidence there are still plenty of great British bands with something to say.

This morning punk legend @spizzenergi was on @BBCBreakfast talking about a house built in a skip.
Not sure if reporter Tim Moffat realised he had the Where’s Captain Kirk singer in this report.

Really enjoyed watching The Ecstasy of Wilko Johnson again last night on BBC4
Julian Temple’s excellent film on @wilkojohnson’s remarkable story of beating his terminal cancer diagnosis is even more poignant since his passing.

Nice mentions of Wilko here, and also Keith Levene, both of whom we miss very much.

I did an interview with Vive Le Rock about Keith Levene and there is a nice feature on him in this month's magazine.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing, following a brief illness, of Terry, our beautiful friend, brother and one of the most brilliant singers, songwriters and lyricists this country has ever produced. (1/4)

Sad news Wilko Johnson has passed away.
2 years ago Wilko kindly spent an afternoon looking back on his life for our podcast.
At the time he was shielding & his frustration at being shut away was evident. Thankfully he got the chance to play gigs again RIP

Wilko Johnson was a precursor of punk. His guitar playing was angry and angular, but his presence - twitchy, confrontational, out of control - was something we'd never beheld before in UK pop. Rotten, Strummer and Weller learned a lot from his edgy demeanour. He does it right RIP

This is the announcement we never wanted to make, & we do so with a very heavy heart: Wilko Johnson has died. He passed away at home on Monday 21st November. Thank you for respecting the family's privacy at this very sad time. RIP Wilko Johnson.

Sad news to hear about the passing of Keith Levene.
Lucky enough to have had the opportunity to talk to him about his career with PiL and early days with The Clash and Flowers of Romance.
A fascinating fella & an excellent guitarist who knew how to push the envelope.
RIP Keith

Big thanks to @chris_hawkins and @BBC6Music team for playing our Trunk of Punk and for giving the podcast a massive plug on national radio.

Interesting Norman Collier style remix of Do The Dog by @thespecials - nice to see it getting daytime airplay.
