Andy McCluskey
George Andrew "Andy" McCluskey (born 24 June 1959 in Heswall, Wirral, Merseyside) is an English musician, songwriter and record producer〔 who is regarded as a pioneer of electronic music in the United Kingdom.〔See Legacy and influence of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.〕 McCluskey is widely recognized as the frontman of globally successful new wave band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), but is also known as the founder of girl group Atomic Kitten.〔 An Ivor Novello Award-nominated songwriter,〔 he wrote or co-wrote multiple international hits, including: "Enola Gay", "Joan of Arc", "Maid of Orleans", "If You Leave" and "Sailing on the Seven Seas" for OMD; and "Right Now", "See Ya", "Whole Again" and "Cradle" for Atomic Kitten. Within OMD, McCluskey's lyrics often deal with important historic subject matter; his songs for Atomic Kitten generally focused on interpersonal relationships.
McCluskey has been described by critic Ned Raggett in AllMusic as an artist "who clearly could balance artistic and commercial impulses in a winning fashion."〔Raggett, Ned. (''Sugar Tax'' review ). AllMusic. Retrieved 3 November 2012.〕 His distinctive, self-deprecating on-stage routine was dubbed the "Trainee Teacher Dance" by the BBC's Stuart Maconie, who wrote that it became "the dance-floor routine of choice" for students in the early-to-mid 1980s.〔Maconie, Stuart. ''Cider With Roadies''. p.142. Ebury Publishing. 2004.〕 In live performances, McCluskey often plays bass guitar (with strings inverted) and occasionally, keyboard instruments and guitar; he continues performing with OMD to the present day. McCluskey has an IQ in the 160 range.

McCluskey met Paul Humphreys at Great Meols Primary School, in Elwyn Road, and played with him in several bands, including Hitlerz Underpantz, VCL XI and the Id. McCluskey then attended Calday Grange Grammar School in West Kirby. McCluskey briefly joined Dalek I Love You as their lead singer, but left because he wanted to sing his own songs. McCluskey teamed up with Humphreys again to form OMD in 1978.
Humphreys and the rest of the band split with McCluskey in 1989, with McCluskey retaining the OMD name. He disbanded the group in 1996. A decade later, in 2006, McCluskey reunited with Humphreys and the other former OMD members for a successful reformation of the band. In the interim, he founded pop group Atomic Kitten.
