by | 7th, January 2010

TO the premier of the Ian Dury biopic Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, at Islington’s Everyman cinema. Dury’s partner, Chaz Jankel was there. In the film we see the seminal moment when Dury, of Kilburn & the High Roads, meets Jankel. It is May 1976. Jankel arrives uninvited in Dury’s dressing room. “Do I know you?” asks Dury. “No,” says Jankel. “Well do us a favour then,” says Dury, “and fuck off!” and thus a legend is born. In the film Andy Serkis plays Dury . Serkis played Gollum in Lord of the rings. Dury would have seen the humour in that. Or hated it:
