- The Nightingales are a British punk/alternative band formed in 1979 in Birmingham, England. Original members were Robert Lloyd (vocals), Joe Crow on guitar, Eamonn Duffy on bass and Paul Apperley on drums, all formerly of The Prefects. The band, before splitting up, played more sessions on John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show than any other band excluding The Fall. The debut single, "Idiot Strength" was released in 1981 on Rough Trade Records, following which Crow and Duffy were replaced by Andy Lloyd and Nick Beales on guitars and Steve Hawkins on bass. The band signed to Cherry Red Records and released three more singles before debut album "Pigs On Purpose" was issued in late 1982. John Nester replaced Hawkins on bass before next release, the "Urban Ospreys" single. Pete Byrchmore replaced Beales (who went on to form Pig Bros) in time for second album, "Hysterics" (1983), Nester then departed to be replaced by Howard Jenner. The new line-up issued two singles in 1985. Further changes then ensued with Andy Lloyd and Paul Apperley leaving, to be replaced by Maria Smith and Ron Collins. The group continued to release singles, record Peel sessions and tour northern Europe but after the third album, "In The Good Old Country Way", the band split.
