Badly Drawn Boy is Damon Gough, born October 2, 1969 in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, although the family moved to Bolton, Lancashire before Gough reached the age of one. Gough chose his stage name from a character that appeared in the cartoon show "Sam and His Magic Ball" which he saw on TV at a party in Trafford, Manchester in 1995.

Reflecting on 25 years in the music industry Badly Drawn Boy also paid tribute to Manchester greats Tony Wilson and Caroline Aherne
The perfect blend of intimacy and communal joy, the power of storytelling and perfectly realised pop combine together into a glorious few hours at Manchester’s Albert Hall tonight with Badly Drawn Boy and The Lightning Seeds.
Some gigs turned into bizarre three-hour marathons as Gough several sheets to the wind would stop songs as soon as they started and do press-ups on stage.
