Captain Sensible

Born: 1954-04-24

Captain Sensible (born Raymond Burns, 24 April 1954) is a singer, songwriter, guitarist (and sometimes bassist) who grew up in Croydon, England, and co-founded the punk rock band The Damned in 1976.

He has since returned to the band (as guitarist) and appears in the 2013 line-up.
