About Buster Bloodvessel

Douglas Steven Trendle, better known as Buster Bloodvessel, is an English singer who has been the frontman of the two-tone band Bad Manners since forming the band in 1976. He took his stage name from the bus conductor played by Ivor Cutler in the Beatles' 1967 film Magical Mystery Tour. Bloodvessel once owned a hotel in Margate called Fatty Towers, which specifically catered for larger customers with features such as extra large beds and baths as well as fatty meals. The hotel closed in 1998 and Bloodvessel moved back to London. In early 2001, Bloodvessel was taken ill with a Strangulated hernia during a concert in Perugia, Italy.
