The Missing Buggles

About Me

Bruce Woolley was initially part of a writing team with Trevor Horn and Geoffrey Downes, who subsequently became the Buggles. His 1979 album Bruce Woolley and Camera Club (released as English Garden in the UK) marked the first appearance of two songs that would later be on the more widely heard debut album from by the Buggles, "Clean Clean" and "Video Killed the Radio Star." The album also featured a young Thomas Dolby on keyboards.
After the success of the Buggles — that band contained many former Camera Club players, but Woolley was not a member — he formed Firmament and the Elements directed the cult film 'Gog' in 1981 and released an EP in 1983. Woolley went on to co-write and produce songs for numerous pop acts including Grace Jones, Louise Goffin Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, The Orb, John Farnham, Toyah, Dusty Springfield, Donna Summer, Cher (including her multi-platinum "Believe" album) and many more.
Woolley has contributed music and songs to over 13 Hollywood and British films including "Toys","Caddyshack", "Moulin Rouge", "The Avengers", "Electric Dreams", "Empire Records" and "The Wedding Singer".
More recently he formed the Theremin led "Radio Science Orchestra" with whom he continues to record and perform in Europe.
