Broudie played in Liverpool's fledgling Punk scene in the 1970s (he was a member of the band Big In Japan , which also featured Holly Johnson and Bill Drummond ) but made his name in the industry as a producer.

Broudie worked with bands like Echo And The Bunnymen , The Icicle Works and The Fall before putting together the Lightning Seeds at the end of the 1980s , scoring a debut hit with "Pure".

The act produced a selection of well-received singles and albums in the 1990s and twice took Football anthem "Three Lions" (with Comedian s Frank Skinner and David Baddiel ) to Number 1, with different lyrics for the Euro 96 and France 98 tournaments. For his own part, Broudie is a supporter of Liverpool .

Broudie subsequently concentrated on production for other bands working with the likes of The Coral , The Subways and on a handful of I Am Kloot songs, before announcing a solo album, under his own name, at the end of 2004 .

His brother Rob Broudie is a Solicitor in Liverpool. He also has a son, Riley , after whom the song 'The Life of Riley' is named after.
