The Gents
The Gents were a "new wave"/mod revival band from Doncaster, South Yorkshire who existed from 1980 to 1989, playing in both northern working men's clubs and also successfully combining this with a credible career on the independent original music scene in the UK. Despite not being signed to a major record label they were full-time professionals and maintained a large following amongst clubgoers on the working men's club/cabaret/cover band scene and also among mod revivalists and scooterists, to whom they played their own original songs releasing over their history nine vinyl singles and two vinyl albums. They were noted for both the energy and entertainment value of their live performances and the professionalism of their original songwriting. The Gents folded on 2 Feburary 1989 with a final gig at Thurcroft Working Men's Club near Rotherham, South Yorkshire and since that time the four former members have pursued several different musical projects.
