Marc Almond(I)
- Actor
- Composer
- Director
Following his parents' divorce, the legendary Synth-pop/New Wave artist
Marc Almond was accepted into a general art design course at Southport
College, where he studied performance art. During his time at art
college he did a series of performance theater pieces: the
Andy Warhol inspired piece "Zazou", "Glamour
in Squalor" and "Twilights and Lowlifes". Marc's love for
Siouxsie and the Banshees
influenced him to leave college with a 2.1 honors degree and form
Soft Cell in 1979. The band skyrocketed to
fame in the early 1980s with their hit "Tainted Love".
