London are back! More than 30 years since their last gig at the Marquee in Wardour Street, Steve Voice and Riff Regan have reformed the band with new guitarist Hugh O'Donnell and new drummer Colin Watterston.

A - Z of London

London were originally a four piece formed in London in 1976. The first line-up was Riff Regan (vocals), Steve Voice (bass/vocals), Jon Moss (drums) and Dave Wight (guitar).

They were managed by Simon Napier-Bell and recorded two singles, a 4 track EP and an album for MCA Records in 1977. Most of their songs were written by Riff Regan (including the first two singles Everyone's a Winner and Summer of Love) or by Riff Regan and Steve Voice. All their records were produced by Napier-Bell at the IBC Studios in London.

They toured extensively throughout 1977, first supporting The Stranglers and then as headliners in their own right. Their third release, the single Animal Games, was featured on the notorious Sex Pistols edition of the British TV show So It Goes.

Their final gig was at the Marquee Club in Wardour Street on the 8th December 1977. The band broke up shortly afterwards. On leaving, Moss joined The Damned and then formed Culture Club with Boy George. Riff Regan released solo records on MCA and CBS before reverting to his real name of Miles Tredinnick and becoming a comedy writer; Steve Voice formed a new band The Original Vampires and Dave Wight following stints in Metro and Holly and the Italians reverted to his real name of Colin Wight and became an academic (recently appointed Professor of International Politics at the University of Exeter). Simon Napier-Bell went on to manage George Michael and Wham! before becoming a best selling author of rock 'n' roll books.

MCA Records released the original band's one and only album, Animal Games, in February 1978.

London The Punk Rock Collection, a CD containing all their MCA recordings, is currently available on the Captain Oi! label.

Get Out Of London - a live official bootleg CD was released in 2010.

Reboot - a new studio CD will be released in February 2012 on Bin Liner Records.
