Johnnie Fingers

Biography

John Peter Moylett (born 10 September 1956), known professionally as Johnnie Fingers, is an Irish keyboardist and co-founding member of the new wave band the Boomtown Rats. He was notable for his attire of striped pyjamas on stage and his melodic piano style. Though uncredited as such for decades, Fingers was the co-author of Boomtown Rats' 1979 hit "I Don't Like Mondays"; in 2019 (after legal action) Fingers received a financial settlement and credit for having co-written the song.
