The Sergeant Wilko Rhythm & Blues Band

WELCOME TO THE MAD MAD WORLD OF SERGEANT WILKO

About Me

Formed 5 years ago, By Dave & Graham, after going to see the current line up of Dr feelgood in Bradford, Graham had a guitar lesson after the gig, by Steve Walwyn, The Feelgoods Guitar player on how to play the opening to Roxette, so we got this and a couple more songs off, and started going down to the Local Jam night, the Feelgood stuff went down a storm as nobodyelse was playing it. After a lot of encouragement we finally decided to get a Drummer and Gob Iron player. We found Dave our drummer in a skip just outside Penistone, and then Crabbers, who has played Harmonica for years with various bands, including the Famous (in Brighouse) Cosmic Egg and aptly named Blood Sweat And Beers came on board. We play mainly in Pubs (Preferably Real Ale) In Yorkshire. We have Played the Burnley Blues Festival for the last 4 Years. We dont take ourselves too seriously, It started out as a bit of fun and we want to keep it that way. We go out to enjoy ourselves have our own personal Mid life crisis and play Fun Music, or as we like to describe it Rhythm & Blues with BALLS!
