Nick John Kulmer AKA "Animal". Vocalist with punk band the Anti-Nowhere League.

According to Nick's own account, taken from "The Anti-Nowhere League" website; " After riding for several years with various motorcycle gangs Magoo and I put together ‘The Anti Nowhere League’ . Although Magoo had spent the whole of 1979 trying to teach me how to play guitar (Space Oddity I think) we came to the conclusion that I would never be able to play Fuck All so I might as well be the singer!! We collaborated with Bones (drummer) and Baggy Elvy (bass) to play a whole bunch of bad cover versions just for a laugh and to play live on Tunbridge Wells Common the same time as the annual Carnival was taking place , which we did and immediately got arrested, in the local rag the following week we hit the headlines by calling us a ‘Cacophony’ of noise and so The League had arrived.

We had the band now all we needed was material, we looked no further than our own door step, disgusted from Tunbridge Wells was just about to get a kick up their 9 to 5, self righteous, middle class arse holes. In a very short space of time we were banned from all pubs and clubs and labelled The Anti Nowhere Conspiracy, toy town would never be the same again. "

And so on. The full story can be found at the bands official web site.
