Congratulations to Inside Croydon loyal readers Mark Vaughan and Austen Cooper, whose names were first out of the hat yesterday in our latest prize competition.

Quite a show: Wilko: Love and Death and Rock ’n Roll is on stage at the Southwark Playouse Borough until Apr 19

Mark and Austen, each accompanied by a guest, are off to see the “stonking” new play with live music: Wilko: Love and Death and Rock ‘n’ Roll at Southwark Playhouse Borough later this month.

A mixture of words, rock ’n roll, and quotes from the man himself, Wilko tells the amazing, uplifting true story of  the Canvey Island legend, and founder member of R&B band Dr Feelgood.

Wilko: Love and Death and Rock ’n Roll transfers to Southwark Playhouse Borough this month, following critical and audience acclaim in its initial run in Hornchurch in 2023.

Tickets for this exciting, foot-tapping new play are available now for the show that opens at the Southwark Playhouse Borough on March 20 and runs through to April 19.

Mark and Austen both win tickets worth around £50 after they correctly answered our fiendishly undifficult question: the Dr Feelgood live album, featuring Wilko Johnson, that topped the UK album charts in 1976 was… drum roll… Stupidity.

Our thanks to the Southwark Playhouse for the tickets, just the latest prizes in competitions and giveaways exclusively for Inside Croydon’s subscribers, who generously help keep our journalism rocking and a’rolling.
