🎼7 May 1955. Happy Birthday 🥳🍾to Mr. Steve Diggle, born Stephen E Diggle in Manchester, UK.
He is guitarist, vocalist and original member for seminal English punk band Buzzcocks which had its "good time" 😳😁 in the late 70s punk explosion 💣... and today it's still around 🤟
Diggle entered Buzzcocks as bassit in 1976 after meeting band leaders Pete Shelley and Howard Devoto at a #SexPistols gig 🔥 they all attended.
Devoto left the band soon to form his #Magazine and Shelley took the lead of Buzzcocks, thus moving Steve Diggle from bass to guitar🎸
Diggle has recently become also Buzzcocks' lead vocalist after Pete Shelley left this world in December 2018.
In the Chat Room👇 I post the first track Diggle co-wrote for #Buzzckocs. As always if you have any Buzzcocks' song you love... post it here 😃
