About The Nightingales

The Prefects were part of The Clash’s White Riot Tour and released a 45 on Rough Trade.

The Nightingales formed from the ashes of The Prefects and regrouped in 2004 after a lengthy hiatus.

John Robb’s definitive book on post punk called them “the misfits’ misfits”.

John Peel championed them in the ’80s and said their performances would confirm their excellence.

The feature-length documentary King Rocker was written and presented by Stewart Lee and directed by Michael Cumming, who also directed Brass Eye and Toast Of London.

The documentary had its TV premiere on Sky Arts in 2021 and was praised by the public and respected film critics as “Best rockumentary ever”.

  • Cult status in the ’80s
  • More productive than ever since 2004
  • King Rocker documentary filmed in 2019
