Damon Gough (nicknamed Badly Drawn Boy), was born 2 October 1969, in
Dunstable, Bedfordshire. He grew up in the Breightmet area of Bolton,
Lancashire, England. He is a Mercury Prize-winning indie
singer/songwriter.
Overview Damon Gough chose his stage name from the title character in the
show Sam and his Magic Ball, which he saw on TV at a party in Trafford,
Manchester in 1995. Before he thought of using this name he made some
business cards, each one unique, with a printed picture of a drawing by
his nephew, and a small collage by Gough. This was then laminated and
given out to friends and people at clubs in Blackburn and Manchester.
A chance meeting with Andy Votel at the Generation X bar in Manchester,
where Gough's friends Scott Abraham and Damon Hayhurst were contributing
to an exhibition by the Space Monkey Clothing Company and Votel was DJ,
led to the foundation of Twisted Nerve Records. Ba
