Russell Webb


Main image

Scottish bassist - songwriter - producer - video game designer - TV and radio music composer
Born in 1958 in Glasgow, Scotland
He replaced Jim McGinlay in Slik shortly before their demise (triggered by the departure of Midge Ure to Rich Kids) - however, the only recorded work featuring Webb is their 1977 punk single as PVC2. He subsequently continued with the remaining members of the band as Zones. He became the bassist with Skids, joining the group in 1980 replacing the original bass player Bill Simpson. Webb was also responsible for producing some of the groups work, including the ill-received final album ’Joy’. In 1983 he joined The Armoury Show and after their demise, he replaced bassist Allan Dias in Public Image Limited in 1992.
