Dr Feelgood + Eddie and the Hot Rods

Dr Feelgood and Eddie and the Hot Rods are two pub rock bands from Essex, sharing a bill at Slay in Glasgow. The night draws on the rock and rhythm and blues traditions of the 1970s.

Dr Feelgood is a British pub rock, new wave and boogie-woogie band formed in Essex in 1971 and signed to United Artists Records. Vocalist Lee Brilleaux and guitarist Wilko Johnson were central to the group's early sound, a stripped-down blend of rhythm and blues and driving guitar. Their debut album, Down by the Jetty, appeared in 1975.

Eddie and the Hot Rods formed in Southend-on-Sea in 1975 and is associated with the pub rock scene that fed into British punk. Their single Do Anything You Wanna Do, released in 1976, is among their best-known recordings.

Slay is a Glasgow venue hosting concerts and shows. The bill pairs two acts from the Essex pub rock scene of the 1970s, so the evening will suit listeners drawn to rhythm and blues-based rock and to the roots of British punk.
