Marco Pirroni

Marco Pirroni is most notorious as the guitar player and co-writer for the acclaimed 80s band Adam and the Ants, which was little-known before Marco joined in 1979. Marco’s musical and sartorial roots are in punk though - his first gig was with Siouxsie And The Banshees in 1976. When the Ants disbanded in 1983, Marco remained as Adam's co-writer and Musical Director, starting straight off with a number one single and album, followed by nine more top twenty hits. The 90s saw Marco work with Sinead O'Connor - scoring a number one album with I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got - and in the 00s he released SEX: Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die and Biba: Champagne and Novocaine on his own label, Only Lover Left Alive. In 2005 he formed his new band The Wolfmen about which the BBC website declared "Is Marco's music as necessary in 2006 as it was nearly 30 years ago? In a word, yes. In more words, too f***ing right it is."
