Ian Dury’s first band: “We was gonna call ourselves Cripple, Nigger, Yid, Chink and Deadfish – but we didn’t get any bookings.” Kilburn High Road is the main road and a London Overground station in Kilburn, an area of north-west London. Two albums recorded in 1974 were released, Handsome and Wotabunch! Dury: “The Kilburns made two albums, but they were both the same. The second was to try and stop the first one coming out!”
