See Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll for free

We here at Q are excited to be giving Q readers the chance to see the brilliant new Ian Dury biopic, Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll first, and for free!

Q readers can claim two free tickets to our preview screening of the film at 15 cinemas nationwide on January 6, 2010, two days before it goes on general release.

Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll tells the story of Ian Dury (played by Andy Serkis), lead singer of the Blockheads who, severely disabled by polio as a boy, defied the odds to become one of Britain's most original and influential singer-songwriters. Artist, actor, the Godfather of punk, husband, lover and errant father, Ian Dury was the man who put the phrase "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" into the English language.

Bill Milner plays Ian's son Baxter with Olivia Williams as his first wife Betty, Naomie Harris plays Ian's on-off girlfriend Denise and Tom Hughes plays Chaz Jankel, Ian's songwriting partner in the Blockheads. The cast is rounded out by Toby Jones as Hargreaves, the young Ian's tyrant schoolmaster, Noel Clarke as sound engineer Desmond, Mackenzie Crook as Russell, Ian's bandmate in the 'Kilburn & the High Roads' and Ray Winstone as Ian's dad Bill.
