The Mockers - New Zealand

A band based out New Zealand they formed in 1980 the remnants of another band called the Ambitious Vegetables with the line-up of Gordon Costello, Andrew Fagan, Gary Curtis and Charlie Mannell who all attended Rongotai College together in Wellington. The Mockers fell into the New Wave / Pop genre and released their first single in 1980,"Good old Days", followed in July of 1981 with their second "Trendy lefties" in 1982 the third single "Woke Up Today" was released. All three songs enjoyed some success locally receiving regular airplay. The Mockers were lead by singer /song writer Andrew Fagan, the band charted successfully in 1985 with the hit "Forever Tuesday Morning" which became a massive hit in New Zealand. Eventually, like most bands they dissolved and went their separate ways, Fagan moved to London...
