Members of the legendary punk band The Blockheads have created a new and exclusive protest-inspired song for a musical celebrating the iconic late-frontman Ian Dury.
Reasons to be Cheerful visits the Everyman as part of a U.K. tour this October and features If it Can’t be Right Then it Must be Wrong written by Blockhead members Chaz Junkel and Derek Hussey, and cast member John Kelly.
Echoing the political climate of 1979, the new Blockheads song is a rallying cry for 2017 protesting against austerity and cuts directed at the deaf and disabled community in the U.K. and the systematic disintegration of the N.H.S. and the Welfare State.
