The League of Gentlemen were an English rock band active during March–December 1980 formed by King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp.
Toobad was replaced late in the band's tenure by Kevin Wilkinson (later of China Crisis and Squeeze) due to his escalating heroin addiction.
[4][5] The Trouser Press Record Guide described the League of Gentlemen's music as typically taking "a simple medium-to-fast backbeat over which Fripp and Andrews locked horns, with melodic development emerging slowly, surely, subtly.
"[6] Trouser Press also suggests that the League's foray into dance oriented rock was a precursor to Fripp's reformed King Crimson the following year.
The tour was split into three parts: Missing from the list are four (possibly warm-up) gigs at the 14th Century Hunting Lodge (now Lodge Farm House),[9][failed verification] outside the grounds of Kingston Lacy near Wimborne Minster, Dorset, England.
