The first time Baxter Dury performed on stage was at his famous father’s wake. Ian and Baxter Dury on the cover of New Boots and Panties!! Ian moved him into his flat, meaning Baxter was evicted from the spare room to the front room’s “decaying Victorian day bed” that his father fancifully called “the chaise longue”. Baxter Dury (centre) with Ian (right) and their minder Peter Rush. A career as a musician almost inevitably followed, and for two decades Baxter Dury has established himself as a nuanced songwriter over half a dozen albums.
