Well here's the thing, having now
set up a fansite for Doncaster's
greatest ever band, you find that casting around tinternet, that the name the Gents ain't that uncommon in fact! So,
just as a bit of a light diversion, I've listed here all the bands etc that I've come across courtesy of Google, who use the
name the Gents either as a sole name or as somewhere in their name. Just so you don't get confused...
