Proof that Ian and the Blockheads have had a massive cultural impact can be seen on this Australian commercial from the late 1980s...
I'm sure you can recognise the reworked tune!

A great performance of Bankrobber by @TheClash featuring Mikey Dredd on Vocals. Note that it also has our very own Mick Gallagher on keys, who played extensively with The Clash.

An interesting photo of Ian hanging out with Kate Bush!
We're pretty sure this is the Capital Radio Music Awards in 1980, where Ian scooped the Best British Male award!

Back in 1972, Charlie Charles was in a funk outfit - 'No Sweat'!
Here he is taking lead vocal duties on a track called 'Turn Me Loose'. The beat never wavers!

The one and only Charlie Charles! We think this is at the American Theatre in St. Louis, Missouri, supporting Lou Reed - April 1978
