Glen Matlock has recently been touring in the USA with the 'Sex Pistols'. All of their incendiary tracks - 'Anarchy In The UK', 'God Save The Queen' and 'Pretty Vacant' were co written by Glen when he was an original member of the band back in 1976-77.

Billy Duffy

Billy Duffy who, as well as being co-writer of all The Cult's massive worldwide hits such as 'She Sells Sanctuary', 'Rain', 'Love Removal Machine'
and last year's US hit 'Rise' to name but four, is still regarded as one of the finest and most influential guitarists of modern times.


Kirk Brandon
, who is responsible for writing all the seminal Spear Of Destiny songs like 'Never Take Me Alive', 'Liberator' and 'Mickey', is still as pioneering an artist as he ever was, having just recorded and released a new Spear Of Destiny album 'Morning Star', alongside a ground-breaking
companion piece named 'The Dark Star Project'.

Mike Peters of The Alarm who at various times throughout his music career has sung duets with Bob Dylan, Neil Young and U2's Bono is the Welsh
member of Dead Men Walking.

Slim Jim Phantom who is currently on tour in the US with The Stray Cats will bring his unique
stand-up style of drumming to Dead Men Walking. Phantom, who co-wrote some of the Stray Cats best known tracks like 'Runaway Boys' and 'Rumble In Brighton' with guitarist Brian Setzer, has recently made records with r'n'r legend Jerry Lee Lewis and Motorhead's Lemmy.

All five members of Dead Men Walking have individually carved their names into the pages of rock and roll history, a collective history that represents the soundtrack for a generation.
