Bill Drummond
William Ernest "Bill" Drummond〔Drummond's full name is given in "Special K" by William Shaw, ''GQ'' magazine, April 1995 ((link )).〕 (born 29 April 1953) is a South African-born Scottish artist, musician, writer, and record producer. He was the co-founder of late 1980s avant-garde pop group The KLF and its 1990s media-manipulating successor, the K Foundation, with which he burned a million pounds in 1994. More recent art activities, carried out under Drummond's chosen banner of the Penkiln Burn, include making and distributing cakes, soup, flowers, beds and shoe-shines. More recent music projects include No Music Day, and the international tour of a choir called The17. Drummond is the author of several books about art and music.
==Background==
Drummond was born in Butterworth, South Africa,〔Confirmed by Drummond's official website ((link ))〕〔A music encyclopaedia once mistakenly printed that Drummond was born ''William Butterworth'' not ''in Butterworth''. This error has been reported, and Drummond's real name confirmed, by, for example, ''Scotland on Sunday'' (Edinburgh), 27 February 2000, p 22.〕 where his father was a minister for the Church of Scotland. His family moved back to Scotland when he was 18 months old, and his early years were spent in the town of Newton Stewart. He moved to Corby, Northamptonshire at the age of 11. It was here that he first became involved in performing as a musician, initially working with school friends such as Gary Carson and Chris Ward.〔McKerron, I., "Duo Burn £1M In Midnight Madness", ''Daily Express'', 1 October 1994 ((link )).〕 He attended the University of Northampton and the Art and Design Academy from 1970 to 1973. He later decided that "art should use everything, be everywhere" and that, as an artist, he would "use whatever medium is to hand". He spent two years working as a milkman, gardener, steel worker, nursing assistant, theatre carpenter, and scene painter.
