| Fronted by larger-than-life Buster Bloodvessel, theyll be throwing us back into the eighties with some good-old honest vulgarity. A continual high level of performance over the past 25 years has rightly earned Bad Manners their reputation as a magnificent live band. From their beginnings as a school group in 1976, throughout their chart success of the 80s (11 top 20 hits), and until the present day, they have maintained a punishing live schedule and deserve their billing as the hardest working band on the planet. Hits include Ne-Ne-Na-Na-Na-Na-Nu-Nu, Lip Up Fatty, Special Brew, Lorraine, Just A Feeling, Can-Can and Walking in the Sunshine, which earned them 111 weeks in the pop charts, exceeding that of Little Richard, Fats Domino, The Moody Blues, Culture Club and Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Buster Bloodvessel, a man of gargantuan proportions with one of the biggest voices in show business and an ebullient personality to match, has fronted the band from day one. Some outrageous performances on BBC's Top Of The Pops and several manic appearances on cult live kids show TISWAS endeared him and the rest of the band to the Great British public. The line up includes:
Buster Bloodvessel singer
Simon Cuell guitar
Lee Thompson bass guitar
Dave Welton bass trombone
Warren Middleton trombones
Trevor Irving trumpets
Tony Rico saxophones
Mark Harrison drums
Rick Macwana keyboards
Carlton Hunt drums
Chris Bull trumpets
