Siouxsie and I are roughly the same age. She grew up in my town and I remember her hanging around in Bromley as part of the Bromley Contingent. She also went the college I now teach at. She'd walk into a local bar with her boyfriend on a dogs lead.
She's on Jools Holland's later tonight.
I think that Siouxsie along with Debbie Harry paved the way for a lot of the female performers we have today like Madoonna, Gwen Steffani, Pink, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and the very talented Kate Nash.
Siouxsie has produced a total of 20 albums in her 30 year career. Wished I'd made the effort to see her live in Camden last week!
She's just released a fantastic new album called Mantaray. Buy it!
