The Atkinson Welcomes Dr Feelgood

The Atkinson Welcomes Dr Feelgood

Legendary rockers Dr Feelgood are set to perform at The Atkinson this September.

The 1970s pub rock outfit, which had a top 10 hit single with Milk and Alcohol in 1979, are set to perform at The Atkinson on Thursday 24 September.

Still one of the most popular and exciting live rhythm and blues acts in the world. The raw and uncompromising style of their performance resulted in the album Stupidity that immediately went to the number one position in the U.K. charts.

Formed on Canvey Island in Essex in the early 1970s, Dr. Feelgood have also enjoyed global success with a string of hit singles Roxette, Back in the Night, Down at the Doctors, She Does it Right, Going Back Home and See You Later Alligator – which gave the group their first gold record.

The current line-up features the rhythm section Kevin Morris on drums and Phil Mitchell on bass, both 29 years in the band and Steve Walwyn on guitar who has been with the band for 23 years. Vocalist Robert Kane (formerly of the Animals) is the most recent addition – joining in 1999 after the tragic death of Lee Brilleaux. The band continues to tour extensively throughout the World and enjoy a loyal following at home and abroad.
