Kirk Brandon

Brandon's music career started in 1978, in Clapham, South London, with the formation of punk group The Pack, in which he was the singer/songwriter. The Pack consisted of Brandon, Scottish born drummer Rath Fae Beith and two Canadian brothers, Simon and Jon Werner on guitars. The last live gig by The Pack took place at a sold out 101 club in Clapham. Brandon then formed the post punk new wave band Theatre of Hate in 1980 recruiting Stan Stammers on bass guitar, Nigel Preston on drums, Billy Duffy on guitar and John 'Boy' Lennard on saxophone.
