n late 1981, Jugg worked with the Damned as a touring keyboardist before becoming a full-time member in 1982 for the album Strawberries. Jugg also worked on a number of Damned-adjacent projects, including Naz Nomad and the Nightmares (under the alias Sphix Svenson_. and David Vanian and the Phantom Chords.

After Captain Sensible left The Damned in 1984, Jugg moved from keyboards to main guitar and became a full member on the studio albums Phantasmagoria (1985) and Anything (1986).

After the 1989 breakup of The Damned he continued to work with Dave Vanian and Bryn Merrick, forming The Phantom Chords. A studio album called David Vanian and the Phantom Chords was released in 1995.

In May 2004, after a nine-year absence, Jugg released a new solo album called Papa Loco.
