Mcfadgin is a musical character created by Bruce Logan. In July 1980 Bruce wrote a song called I'll ave a curry. He had taken up writing songs back in April 1977, but this song was different it had a strong contemporary feel about it. This led to him deciding to go to a local recording studios (Airship) in his hometown of Bognor regis to record it. As he mainly played bass guitar he invited some friends to add guitar, sax and drums to the track. They recorded the song in August 1980. The recording studio also had a record label attached to it called Airship records and after recording the song was offered a record deal to record an album (Mcfadgin). The vocals did not sound like Bruce would usually sing but sounded very punk rock in its style. In February 1981 Bruce was asked to MC a local rock event featuring various local bands at the newly built Regis centre. As he was going to sing songs as McFadgin and not Bruce Logan he decided he needed to create a character who looked completely different to his usual self, thus was born McFadgin.
