THE RONSON HANGUP

The Ronson Hangup Photo

The Ronson Hangup formed when brothers Steve and Mal Pinkerton (from The Anyones) teamed up with Ash Naylor (Even, Rail), Luke Thomas (The Pictures) and Dave Mudie (Canon) out of a shared admiration for Mick Ronson, the legendary guitarist from David Bowie's band The Spiders From Mars. Later on Erica Menting joined in with additional vocals. They play mainly pop/rock in the style of the late '60s to early '70s.

HICKOK'S CURSE (2017)

The Ronson Hangup - Hickok's Curse cover

Hickok's Curse (3:51) – 

Notes

Vocalist Steve Pinkerton provided this song background to Beat Magazine, June 14, 2017:

Hickok's Curse refers to Wild Bill Hickok's card hand that won him his final poker game but also triggered his murder, sometimes referred to as Dead Man's Hand. The song was inspired by a friend who characterised their own unfortunate life as "living in a stacked deck," and describes a life of misfortune, adversity and devil's own luck.
