As you've arrived here, you just MUST be interested to know how The Disco Students are faring on their return to the world of music.
The answer is, rather well actually.
The group broke up in the early 1980's, with the members going their separate ways.
The very thought of The Disco Students existing in any form again was simply a non-starter.
Too many hours in dreary rehearsal rooms and cold Transit vans had taken its toll - the group were a spent force - exhausted and broken.

So, fast forward to the Summer of 2003.
And the idea of reforming The Disco Students seems just perfect.
How odd.
Of course there have been some casualties - drummer Graham Hocking has not been seen or heard of for over 20 years. Gone.
Guitarists Simon Clark and Carl Perkins have too disappeared off the radar.
Jon Greenough, now lives in Plymouth, Devon - the logistics ruling him out of the new group.
So, it has been left to original members Simon Cheetham and Richard Coles to find two suitable allies to do the group justice.
The position of drummer has been filled by Jon Coles - brother of Richard.
Kevin O'Brien, once of Watford punk heroes The S-Haters now plays the guitar.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you The Disco Students.
