Out to Lunch with The Tyla Gang

Tyla Gang Memorial Concert For Richard Treece, Help Yourself and early Tyla Gang member.

We'd like to invite anyone who played with Richard to come along and get up and join us in the second set.

Tyla Gang were born inside Sean Tyla's head in late 1975. Having led the legendary pioneers of British pub-rock, Ducks Deluxe from obscurity to mini- stardom in three years, he sought a new challenge. He craved to conceive a far more aggressive and decibel defying outfit with which to assault the public ear. Various line-ups were tried and tested, demos made but nothing seemed to gell. Though money was tight, Tyla turned down offers to produce the Sex Pistol's studio debut and augment a fledgling Motörhead, such was his determination to realise his goal. Almost a year after the Ducks final concert at London's 100 Club in June 1975, the finite Tyla Gang line-up appeared. Tyla on vocals and guitars, Canadian axe man, Bruce Irvine on Lead guitar and ex-Winkies, Michael Desmarais on drums and Brian 'Kid' Turrington on Bass guitar.
