Kenny Morris (musician)
Kenny Morris (born Kenneth Ian Morris; 1 February 1957) is an English drummer, songwriter and visual artist. He was the first studio drummer of Siouxsie and the Banshees. He joined the band in January 1977; he had attended their first live appearance at the 100 Club a few months earlier and had been impressed by their performance. Morris's first studio recording with the group was in November 1977 when they recorded their first John Peel session for BBC radio.

During the recording of the band's debut single " Hong Kong Garden", producer Steve Li ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
