Biography

(1983 – present)

Bronski Beat was a very popular Scottish synth pop trio of the 1980s.

At their height, the band comprised distinctive and diminutive Scottish singer Jimmy Somerville, backed by fellow Scott Steve Bronski and Londoner Larry Steinbacheck, both of whom played keyboards and percussion.

Formed in 1983, their debut hit came the following year - the striking tale of a boy who was cast away by his family and neighbours for being gay.
