Ian Dury met his mentor Peter Blake at art school and started a band, Kilburn and the High Roads, to subsidise his painting and teaching career. With his subsequent band, the Blockheads, Dury grasped the limelight in the late seventies with the anthems What a Waste and Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick.
In this film, Dury reflects on his life, including his mother's roots in Ireland, contracting polio at the age of seven, the news in 1997 that he had developed cancer, and his recent comeback with the album Mr Love Pants. Contains swearing.
