Ducks Deluxe were an English pub rock band from the 1970s. Martin Belmont, Nick Garvey, Sean Tyla and Tim Roper formed the band in 1972 (see 1972 in music).

Ducks Deluxe remained a cult band throughout their career, with their first and best LP, Ducks Deluxe, achieving moderate commercial success only after the band broke up in 1975 (see 1975 in music) because the members had gone on to greater fame in Graham Parker & the Rumour, Tyla Gang and the Motors.

Reunion

The band are to reform, for one gig only, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of their original formation. This will be at the 100 Club in London on October 9th 2007. The line-up will be Martin Belmont, Sean Tyla, Mickey Groome and Billy Rankin. It's hoped that the event will be recorded/filmed.
