JANE FARRIMOND AKA YANA YAYA SIGUE SIGUE SPUTNIK

Born 26 years ago in Wigan,  home of the Casino,  and raised on Northern Soul,  moved to Birmingham to study fashion and textile design,  and to perfect the shuffle,  the funky strut,  and the grind;  set up as clothes designer in building belonging the reggae band Steel Pulse,  designing the  group's clothing; while  sitting at her drawing board,  swaying to the throb of the bass,  Yanna looked out to the window and sighted on Martin Degville,  on his way to by cloth at Birmigham Rag Marked :  "He looked like nothing I'd  ever seen before. Even then he was wearing stilleto heels." Meeting Martin later at a club,  the Zoo,  they set up in partnership and formed YaYa.  Initially the face of the groupe,  as seen on all its early posters,  Yana does all the Sigue Sigue Sputnik artwork, as well as providing their dub effects.  ( SIGUE SIGUE SPUTNIK - ULTRA ) JANE FARRIMOND MENU
