	Books About Seventies Rock from The Bomp Bookshelf
		The Brinsleys persevered, as did Graham Parker and The Rumour, Ian Dury, Bees Make Honey, Eggs Over Easy and Ace.
		The Southend-based RandB quartet electrified everyone who saw them--and among the audience at their 1974 Guildford show were Paul Weller and Graham Parker.
		Will Birch's No Sleep Till Canvey Island is an engrossing and breezily illuminating study of a previously ignored period in British pop history, summed up by Brinsley Schwarz's Nick Lowe as "the regrouping of a bunch of middle-class ex-Mods who had been through the hippie underground scene and realised it wasn't their cup of tea".

	Brinsley Schwarz - Power Pop - Randy's Rodeo
		Many prominent pub rockers (Ian Dury, Elvis Costello, Joe Strummer, Graham Parker) went onto great things as punks and new wavers, but the members of Brinsley Schwarz (named for their guitarist - and record store clerks thought Jethro Tull was confusing...) blazed a trail for future power poppers.
		Schwarz himself and keyboardist Bob Andrews would join Graham Parker's Rumour, and Brinsley-come-lately Ian Gomm made several good records for the Stiff label.
		Brinsley Schwarz and Despite It All sound quaint in retrospect, but they catch fire occasionally ("Country Girl") and show signs of the wry humor that would mark Lowe's future work ("Rock and Roll Women").

	Rock on the ARTISTdirect Network - Free Rock Downloads, Rock Videos, and CDs
		Indeed, many pub rockers -- including Brinsley Schwarz's Nick Lowe, the 101ers' Joe Strummer, Flip City's Elvis Costello, Kilburn & the High Roads' Ian Dury and Graham Parker -- became important figures in punk and new wave just a few years after the pub-rock scene faded in the mid-'70s.
		None of the pub-rock bands became stars or had hits, but their do-it-yourself attitude and stripped-down sound -- as well as the creation of the pub-rock circuit itself -- paved the way for punk rock.
		The members of the major pub rock bands-- Brinsley Schwarz, Ducks Deluxe, Bees Make Honey, Ace, Dr. Feelgood -- came from a variety of musical backgrounds, including folk-rock, blues, country-rock, and traditional rock& roll.

	The Observer UK News Enter stage right, the Fat Slags and Desdemona
		It approached Viz co-editor Graham Dury earlier this year and he has visited the theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon several times to meet cast and crew.
		Theatregoers are likely to be spared the spectacle of Sid the Sexist treading the boards in Elizabethan ruffles, however.
		Newcastle-based Viz has spawned a cast of comic characters, including The Fat Slags and Sid the Sexist, which parodies the behaviour of an unreconstructed, heavy-drinking northerner.

	Fat Slags Page 2 - Movie Tome
		The Fat Slags were originally created as comic strips by Graham Dury and Simon Donald for the profanity laden Viz magazine.
		The creators of The Fat Slags were so dissapointed with the feature film version they decided to give up creating more comic strips of the terrible two for Viz magazine.

	BBC - Nottingham Culture - The man behind the 'Fat Slags'
		Nottingham born Graham Dury co-created the legendary Viz characters 'The Fat Slags'.
		The Fat Slags were thought up by the four of us who worked there at the time, and so they were a bit of a composite.
		Were the Fat Slags inspired by the lovely women of Nottingham?

	Various Artists: The Stiff Generation - PopMatters Music Review
		Anyone with a passing familiarity of Stiff knows that it was the early home of Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe was their house producer, and countless talents like Graham Parker, Madness, Ian Dury, and notable also-rans like Wreckless Eric and Rachel Sweet all called Stiff home for awhile.
		Stiff devotees will want this, though, not just to hear what these 'kids' have done with their originals but to get the few original Stiff rarities that are sprinkled in here as bonus.
		Some of them are regulars on the tribute record circuit (especially Bill Lloyd and Matthew Sweet, who would probably pay tribute to your mother if she asked them to), while others are virtually unheard of.
