Even Though They Say Ziggy Played Guitar...it was Ronno

   

Michael 'Mick' Ronson was born in Kingston on Hull.


A new 8-foot (2.4 m) guitar sculpture memorial to Ronson, designed by student Janis Skodins, was unveiled on 2 June 2017 in Hull's East Park, where Ronson used to work as a gardener, now known as the Michael Ronson Garden of Reflection.

 

Another great axe victim that I've shared before over at Play, Don't Worry.  This is a posthumous disc from Beside Bowie bestie & Hull native Mick Ronson. I usually don’t bore you with all the bloody details as to who does what & when with whom for each song, but here the cast is an impressive lot, props to M. Ronson

 

Mick Ronson - Heaven & Hull, Epic 474742 2, 1994.
