The Mockers

The Mockers

The Mockers were a New Zealand pop band formed in Wellington in 1979 by Andrew Fagan.[1] Fagan was the only ever-present of the band's line-up whose initial members were mostly drawn from Fagan's Rongotai College classmates. Their songs include "One Black Friday" and "Forever Tuesday Morning". The Mocker's style drew on punk and new wave influences from the UK and performances centered around Fagan's flamboyant stage presence. Other band members included Gary Curtis (keyboards, vocals), Dean Heazlewood, Geoff Hayden, Tim Wedde, Brett Adams, Murry Costello, Chas Mannell Gordon Costello, Brendan Fitzgerald, the late Steve Thorpe and Paul Lightfoot (guitar).[2]
