On this day, 30 July 1968, Sean Moore, drummer with Welsh rockers Manic Street Preachers, was born in Pontypool, Torfaen.
Moore attended Oakdale Comprehensive in Oakdale, Caerphilly, with his cousin James Dean Bradfield, and other future band members Nicky Wire and Richey Edwards.
Simon Price wrote in Everything (A Book About Manic Street Preachers) that "Sean Moore is quite possibly the only person in rock who doesn't take the Manics seriously". According to his bandmates, he is the band's "musical driving force". In their early days.
He is the only current member of the Manic Street Preachers who has not released a solo album.
