We are extremely proud to have Hull's very own Mick Ronson as part of our Worn Free range. Mick Ronson is rated as one of the finest guitarists of all time and credited with creating the Glam Rock sound. In early 1970 Mick joined David Bowie's new band the Hype, they played their first gig at the roundhouse in London on the 22nd February with a line-up that included Bowie, Ronson, Cambridge, and producer/bassist Tony Visconti. The group dressed up in superhero costumes, with Bowie as Rainbowman, Visconti as Hypeman, Ronson as Gangsterman, and Cambridge as Cowboyman. This performance was filmed and recorded and is currently in the vaults owned by MainMan.

The dressing up continued as Mick Ronson and David Bowie started touring as Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Ronson and Bowie worked together on a number of albums including Hunky Dory and Spiders from Mars. Ronson provided some ground breaking guitar licks and incredible arrangement, not to mention Mick's live performances with Bowie are legendary and can been seen all over youtube, try this one on for size:
