A Flock of Seagulls are an English new wave and synthpop band originally formed in 1980 in Liverpool by Michael "Mike" Score (keyboards, vocals) and his brother Alister "Ali" James Score (drums); with their most famous line-up consisting of the Score brothers along with Francis Lee "Frank" Maudsley (bass) and Paul Reynolds (guitar).

It took musical training and talent to program a drum machine and sing to synth, and a bit more effort to craft a look and sound that was original – or odd – enough to get noticed by record companies, and then by the record buying audience. There’s probably no better early ’80s’ example of this than A Flock of Seagulls. The band, founded by hairdressers Mike Score and Frank Maudsley, Score’s brother Ali, and Paul Reynolds, was a late product of the Liverpool music scene that produced such hard hitting pop acts as Mike Score - LiveEcho and the Bunnymen and The Teardrop Explodes.

Their first single – Telecommunication – was a Electro-Dance Beat, piece of new wave pop that sounds like an early New Order, Still, their early offerings were enough to land them an opening slot on Squeeze’s US tour, and the next six months were spent building up a substantial American following. With their eponymous debut album in 1982 came the hits “Space Age Love Song” a happy romantic song of love and loss and in 2001 Was Featured In the Columbia Pictures, “ Not Another teen Movie ” the song for which they will always be remembered by most Americans – “I Ran.”  

They made their mark on the UK charts after the release of their second album”LISTEN” with the top ten single “Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You“. 

The bands next offering was their third album “THE STORY OF A YOUNG HEART” featured another song about Heartbreak and Life, titled , “The More You Live, The More You Love” And this 80’s Classic Hit still receives regular Radio play along with “I Ran”, “Space Age Love Song” and Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You).

Twenty years later the band is back touring and sounding stronger than ever.  Peforming all their Greatest hits! I Ran , Space Age Love Song , Telecommunication ,DNA (Grammy Award Winning Song 1984) Wishing ( if I had a photograph of you ), The More You Live, The More You Love, The Dancer (never again), Transfer Affection, Nightmares ( Mama I keep having , Committed, Quicksand, The Story Of A Young Heart, It’s Not Me Talking. . and more
