Rusty Egan joins Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt on the Rockonteurs podcast

About this episode

Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt interview Rusty Egan about his influential role in the British music scene of the late 70s and 80s.

This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we are joined by drummer, DJ, musical trendsetter and co-founder of the Blitz Club in London. Gary and Guy chat to their pal Rusty Egan about his days with Rich Kids, Visage and helping set the British club scene at the Blitz.  His stories come thick and fast but his impact on the music of the late 70s and 80s is undeniable.  Rusty has a book out, 'Rusty Egan - The Autobiography’ which chronicles those wonderfully influential days.  Find out more here:  https://linktr.ee/rustyegan Instagram @rockonteurs @guyprattofficial @garyjkemp @rustyegan @gimmesugarproductions    Listen to the podcast and watch some of our latest episodes on our Rockonteurs YouTube channel.
