  • Damon Gough (stage name Badly Drawn Boy) is a Mercury Prize-winning English rock singer/songwriter. He was born on 2 October 1969, in Dunstable, Bedfordshire. He grew up in the Breightmet area of Bolton, Lancashire, England. 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 DJing, led to the foundation of Twisted Nerve Records. Badly Drawn Boy's first 7-inch single, EP1, was pressed the following year to critical acclaim, although only 500 copies were made. In 2002, Q magazine named Badly Drawn Boy in their list of the "50 Bands to See Before You Die", although this was as part of a sub-list of "5 Bands That Could Go Either Way" on account of Gough's tendency to talk and tell stories for extended periods rather than playing songs.
  • Badly Drawn Boy ist ein britischer Musiker und Songwriter, der eine Folk/Pop-Mischung spielt. Sein Künstlername stammt von einer Figur aus der Zeichentrickserie Jamie and his Magic Ball. Diese Serie hatte er 1995 während einer Party in Trafford, Manchester im Fernsehen gesehen. Zusammen mit Andy Votel gründete er das Plattenlabel Twisted Nerve Records. In den Jahren 1997 und 1998 veröffentlichte er darauf drei EPs in kleinen Stückzahlen, bevor er zu XL Recordings wechselte. Dort erschienen weitere EPs bzw. Singles von ihm, denen im Jahr 2000 das Debütalbum The Hour of Bewilderbeast folgte. Mit diesem Album gewann er den Mercury Music Prize. Nach einer kurzen Pause schrieb er den Score zur Nick Hornby-Verfilmung About a Boy oder: Der Tag der toten Ente, aus dem drei Singles erwuchsen.

  • Badly Drawn Boy — британский автор-исполнитель, получивший широкую известность в 2000 году, когда его дебютный альбом The Hour of Bewilderbeast при единодушной поддержке музыкальной критики получил престижную Премию Mercury . В 2001 году писатель Ник Хорнби предложил Гофу написать музыку к фильму About a Boy по мотивам своего романа. Год спустя Гоф выпустил одноимённый альбом-саундтрек (#6, UK), из которого вышли 3 сингла. На последующие альбомы — Have You Fed the Fish? (2002), One Plus One Is One (2004) и Born in the U.K. (2006) — реакция критики была неоднозначной, но все они входили в британский Top 20.
