RETURN OF THE MAGNIFICENT TWENTY FLIGHT ROCKERS 7:30pm, Friday 30th October, 100 Club, Oxford St, London Twenty Flight Rockers announce their first UK show in 39 years at the 100 Club on Friday 30th October. Post the burning embers of The Clash came Twenty Flight Rockers and as with the aforementioned, suited and booted playing 100% Rock’n’Roll and an image to melt Elvis’ heart. In 1983 Mark Laff (Generation X) met singer Gary Twinn just before Gary was due to leave the UK on a one way ticket to Australia, where he had had a No.1 hit with his previous band Supernaut. They recruited guitarist Ian McKean after Laff had seen him play in a local band. They had their bass player in Jeff D.Vine after being introduced to Kevin Daly who later became their road manager. TFR by now had accumulated a hard core following that would see them play a SOLD OUT residency at London’s legendary Marquee Club. Gaining a lot of notice was a most sought after Live At The Bull bootleg but with all the ascension, one key member was missing ~ where’s Bernie ? Clash manager Bernie Rhodes had managed Mark Laff in Subway Sect on the infamous White Riot Tour and it was to be a night out at London’s Camden Palace that would reintroduce the pair and for Rhodes to then manage TFR……..the rest as they say is history. Please welcome back: Gary Twinn, Mark Laff, Ian McKean, Jeff D. Vine - TWENTY FLIGHT ROCKERS
