About / Biography

THE BLOX are five dedicated musicians who got together to recreate the music of Ian Dury and The Blockheads. Music which is comprised of elements of funk, jazz, blues, reggae, even vaudeville. THE BLOX performed their first gig in September 2000, yes, twenty years ago!

During their twenty years (so far) THE BLOX have enjoyed playing at numerous festivals, touring twice with top ska band Bad Manners, sharing the bill with Hawkwind, and members of Squeeze, and various other notables, including having members of The Blockheads within their ranks on separate occasions.

THE BLOX have also occasionally left these shores for various gigs overseas.

We have played some prestigious venues around the country too, such as The Concorde 2 in Brighton and The Astoria, Charing Cross Road.

We are known for putting the fun in funky, as the stage act testifies!
