Jah Wobble (born John Wardle) is a renowned bass guitarist and vocalist from East London. He was the
original bassist in Public Image Ltd (PiL) in the late 1970s but left the band in 1980, a year after the
release of the iconic Metal Box, the band’s second album.

He had already begun developing a solo career before leaving PiL and formed The Invaders Of The Heart
in 1982, while the early 80s also saw him collaborate with Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit from Can
and The Edge from U2. He has since worked with Ginger Baker, Bjork, Brian Eno, Massive Attack, Sinead
O’Connor, Pharoah Sanders, Lonelady and his wife Zi Lan Liao, a Chinese guzheng player and harpist. He
reunited with PiL guitarist Keith Levene in 2012 to record the album Yin & Yang and perform a series of
Metal Box In Dub shows. His acclaimed autobiography Memoirs Of A Geezer: Music, Life, Mayhem was
published by Serpent’s Tail in 2009 and reissued in expanded form as Dark Luminosity by Faber & Faber
in 2024.

Jon Klein is a guitarist and producer best known for being a member of Siouxsie and the Banshees from
1987 until 1994, a period that saw the release of the acclaimed albums Peepshow, Superstition and The
Rapture. He had originally been in the Bristol-based Europeans before forming glam-goth act Specimen
and relocating to London where he was involved with The Batcave night club.

Klein has recorded and played live with a wide variety of artists that include Talvin Singh, Shriekback,
Sinead O’Connor and Thomas Dolby while his production company Ground Control has overseen
recordings by the likes of David Devant and His Spirit Wife and Spanish chart toppers Fangoria.
