sime Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Very sad news. He fought a very brave fight and was always a really great performer. RIP Wilko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigpusher Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Will treasure the memories of his q and a and performance in Williams Green the year after he received his life extending treatment. He made the most of the extra time that was gifted to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maelzoid Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 RIP Wilko. I was not the biggest fan of the music but did see him live in 2018 and thoroughly enjoyed the show. His life story is, of course inspiring, but on stage he was simply a magnetic performer existing in the moment. I think I'd count myself as a fan of the man!

The Nal Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Aww RIP. Great he got a good few extra years after his initial diagnosis. Loved seeing him strut about in Williams Green whatever year he played (14 or 15?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I didn't know either, but he was instrumental with Warner Bros. in signing an unbelievable array of talent. Maybe we wouldn't have heard of some of these acts without him: Frank Sinatra, The Kinks, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Grateful Dead, REM, Fleetwood Mac, James Taylor, Talking Heads, The Ramones, Madonna (those last 3 in a distribution deal), Prince, Van Morrison, Rod Stewart, Tom Petty, Van Halen, ZZ Top ...etc etc Neil Young recommended Charles Manson to Mo Ostin. Ostin turned Manson down. Edited November 23, 2022 by The Nal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a Q&A and played a few tunes, they later showed the movie about him and the next day he did a gig in Acoustic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexj Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 I was lucky enough to see Wilko play at Off the Tracks festival, gosh must be 2012ish, he was absolutely incredible. Not my taste in music exactly but my goodness could he hold that rhythm on his guitar! It wasn't long after that he was diagnosed with his cancer. RIP Wilko, great guitarist, even greater character!

A large part of the soundtrack of my youth Can't believe I missed this. Like a lot here, a big part of the soundtrack of my youth. Hawkwind were the only "name" band to play anywhere near us and they played regularly.

I remember him playing me ‘Rat Race’ and ‘Doesn't Make it Alright’ when I was very young, timeless music. He, like many others who grew up with them in the late 70s/ early 80s will be so hurt by the news. May he RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
