Dexys Midnight Runners' Kevin Rowland shows he still has style

Originally from Wednesfield, the 62-year-old had several hits in the early 1980s, including the ever-popular Geno and Come On Eileen, which reached number one in America and won Best British single at the 1983 Brit Awards.

The band was famous for the dungarees and bandanas they all wore.

Now rocking a trilby hat, winter cardigan, cords and suede shoes, Mr Rowland's style continues to be as colourful and unique as it was during his heyday. And he has recently taken to posting an Outfit Of The Day photograph via the Twitter page @DexysOfficial.

He lived for three years in Ireland between the ages of one to four before returning to Wolverhampton, where he was raised in Blakenhall. He moved on again to Harrow when he was 11, but left school at 15.

In 2013, he received an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters, after originally being offered an honorary degree in 2011 but was unwell and could not attend. A former pupil at St Mary and St John's Catholic Primary in Snow Hill, Mr Rowland moved to London before attending secondary school, and then returned to the Black Country aged 20 when he lived in Smethwick.

Alongside trombone player Jim 'Big' Paterson, they are the only band members on all of the albums after the band went through numerous personal changes during the late 70's and 80s.

Fashion has always been integral to the group. In January 1980 he was quoted as saying: "We didn't want to become part of anyone else's movement. We'd rather be our own movement." A lukewarm reception to their third album, Don't Stand Me Down, spelled the end of the band.

After financial troubles, depression and dealing with drug addiction, Rowland reformed once again with the group in 2003.
