Billy Duffy Autographs
William Henry Duffy (born 12 May 1961) is an English rock musician, best known as the guitarist in the band the Cult.
Duffy was born and grew up in Manchester, England. He has Irish and Jewish heritage and ancestry. He began playing the guitar at the age of fourteen, being influenced by the music of Queen, Thin Lizzy, the Who, Aerosmith, Blue Öyster Cult, and the early work of Led Zeppelin. In the late 1970s he became involved in the punk movement, influenced by the New York Dolls, the Stooges, Buzzcocks, the Sex Pistols, and AC/DC. He started playing lead guitar with a number of different punk rock acts whilst still in school in the late 1970s, including the Studio Sweethearts.
After leaving school, Duffy left Manchester when the Studio Sweethearts moved to London, working as a shop assistant at Johnsons in the King's Road. The Studio Sweethearts subsequently broke up and Duffy began playing lead guitar part-time with the band Theatre of Hate. Shortly after he met Ian Astbury, then frontman/lead vocalist with the Southern Death Cult, who was sufficiently impressed with Duffy's talents that he quit the Southern Death Cult to start a new band with him called Death Cult. After releasing two singles, the band shortened its name to the Cult. In the Cult's debut single "Spiritwalker", Duffy created a distinctive flanged sound using an then-unfashionable guitar: a mid-1970s Gretsch White Falcon, which later became Duffy's main instrument. The Cult's debut album, Dreamtime, was released in 1984, followed in 1985 by Love, which featured the hit "She Sells Sanctuary".
