Ian Dury: The Definitive Biography by Will BirchMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a well-researched biography of pioneering Dury. There is a first act to the story of detailed genealogical data - I am sure more than any other Dury biography. Art school, music in and out of The Blockheads and bit film roles are covered chronologically in detail. I was especially surprised to learn of the UNICEF anti-polio globe trotting while suffering from the cancer that would kill him too soon. For the obsessive, along with many pics, this book has an extensive discography and gigography.
