Back in the 80s, soon after he left school - the very talented young guitarist Neal Whitmore joined Sigue Sigue Sputnik-then one of the most popular British electro/punk/rock band.

He almost immediately blended in with the bands shocking stage image-sporting multicoloured Mohican, stilettos and fetish gear!

As Tony often said in the past, that; "Members of this band were selected solely on image and appearance.

During the early days of the phenomenal success of SSSputnik, Neal X enjoyed every part of it- and to this days, there is no regrets!!

"Sputnik were hot sensation then! We travelled the world and had an amazing time!" says Neal-with some pride in his voice.

"But then, years later we had a swift fall from grace!" he laughed.

Following the departure of the original frontman Martin Degville, (or him walking out on them), in the last attempt to save 'what's left of the bands legacy', Neal X took over as the lead singer of Sputnik for a few years.

But despite his great tendency to replace the -very feisty, eccentric and often outrageous stage persona of Martin Degville, in the long run - it was hard to please and persuade the fiercely loyal SSSputnik fans.

He has also worked as a sideman for people like Pete Burns, Johny Thunders, Adam Ant, Marc Almond and more.

This days, (beside his longtime fascination with Burlesque girls) formally known Neal X, actively working on many of his new music ventures - like creating music for children and collaborating with various other music artist..

And he is not shy to admit that he is loving every minute of it!

Worn By T-Shirt - Chinese - worn by Ian Dury by Worn By

1

A poet, an actor, and legendary frontman of The Blockheads, Ian Dury's legacy lives on long after his death in 2000. Seen as one of the true originals to emerge from the punk / new wave scene of the late 70s. Dury's lyrics often include social commentary and political thought emphasised in this t-shirt which questioned whether communist China was a friend or foe?

The shirt was also worn by fellow politcal activist, Clash frontman Joe Strummer.

This vintage style t-shirt was handmade in Europe from the finest 110gsm cotton and reverse printed for a super-soft vintage finish. All Worn By garments are sweatshop free, ethically sourced and imported by sea in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint.

To answer any potential comments, I decided to give you a little insight into why I composed the picture this way-

I intentionally placed the singer on the lower left even though he was facing that way. Your eye naturally goes up to the right towards the ferris wheel, but given the musical style of this band, I chose to go against the fundamentals. I took creative license with this shot. Hope you enjoy it, but all feedback is appreciated.
