Will Sergeant (born 12 April 1958, Liverpool) is an English guitarist, best known for being a member of Echo & the Bunnymen, Electrafixion and Glide. Born in the centre of Liverpool, he grew up in the suburb of Melling.

Career

As a solo artist, Sergeant focused on minimalism and atmospherics, and usually released entirely instrumental music. Sergeant's first solo work was in 1978, when he self-produced "Weird As Fish" [ [http://www.uncut.co.uk/music/will_sergeant/reviews/5425 Will Sergeant - Weird As Fish - Review - Uncut.co.uk ] ] and made a total of seven copies. The album was officially released 25 years later. Early in the life of Echo & the Bunnymen, Sergeant recorded "La Vie Luonge", a soundtrack piece for a short Bunnymen concert film of the same name. His first formal solo album, "Themes for Grind", was released in 1982, while still active with Echo & the Bunnymen, and reached number 6 on the Indie album chart.cite book |last=Lazell |first=Barry |title=Indie Hits 1980-1999 |year= 1997 |publisher=Cherry Red Books |isbn=0-9517206-9-4 ]

Sergeant continued with the Bunnymen even after Ian McCulloch left in 1988, bringing in Noel Burke to sing on "Reverberation" in 1990, before breaking up the band. In 1994, Sergeant and McCulloch reunited to form Electrafixion. The band toured extensively and released one album, "Burned", in 1995. After a few singles and more touring, the band began to play a large number of old Echo & the Bunnymen songs at their shows. In 1997, the Bunnymen reformed.

Sergeant also returned to solo work in 1997, under the moniker Glide. That year, he released the live "Space Age Freak Out", followed by another live album, "Performance", in 2000. Glide began to tour, and would often open for Echo & the Bunnymen in the early 2000s. Glide released "Curvature of the Earth" in 2004.
