Pete Bell, Friars fan from Weston Turville, writing for the Friars Aylesbury website in 2008 said:

"I remember Def Leppard in 1980 - Joe Elliot's tight leather trousers and all! The support band, Witchfynde had a very good single out at the time  'Give Em Hell' which is worth downloading for any old metalheads out there. The lead singer - Steve Bridges - wore a tassled leather waistcoat and really rocked out for a support band! Sledgehammer, the other support band were from High Wycombe I think and appeared on a compilation album, 'Metal For Muthas' with the song, um 'Sledgehammer'"

   

 

 

 

You can't keep a good man down - Iggy's solo career has continued to today with varying degrees of success and even reformed the Stooges in 2004. One of Iggy's most definable songs, Lust For Life, is possibly most associated with the British film Trainspotting. He has been covered by the likes of Siouxsie and the Banshees.

As at 2010, he is also familiar to millions as the face of the Swiftcover insurance adverts
