Simon Scardanelli

Singer and guitarist Simon Scardanelli enjoyed chart success in March 1989 with Anglo-Canadian duo Big Bam Boo, scoring a top 50 hit in the UK, USA & Canada with "Shooting From My Heart". Since then he's released 5 solo albums, numerous singles and EPs, composed the music for the award winning "Clean - the Musical" (Brighton Fringe 2021) & scored the music for several theatrical productions & short films. He is currently at work on a Folk-opera which he hopes to launch in 2023, inspired in part by the folklore & culture of Brittany, his home since 2017.

A charismatic and engaging solo performer, Simon's songs are infused with wry observation – he is able to look back on a long and varied career with an ironic appreciation of its highs and lows. From tales of life on the margins of rock and roll in NYC, where he lived and worked as a liquor runner in the notorious "Save the Robots" club during the 90s, to a love song written to a favourite guitar, or meetings with vampires and aliens, his songs are rich in imagery and passion.

“Simon's greatest asset is a fantastic singing voice....his performance on tracks such as They Dance bear comparison to the likes of Scott Walker.” Sound On Sound Magazine

“A spine-tingling listen” Maverick Magazine
