Timeline
Gerry Laffy (born 4 January 1960) is a British singer and guitarist who has played in the bands Girl, The London Cowboys, Sheer Greed, John Taylor, and Ultravox among others.
Girl are still cited as an influence by many major artists twenty years later, even though they disbanded after only three years, allegedly due to their record company and mismanagement.
In total Gerry Laffy has released 30 albums; he has played in venues as diverse as Wembley Arena, Taipei Hard Rock Cafe, the Reading Festival.
In 1978, Laffy was a founding member of the band Girl (along with Philip Lewis).
Lambert and Lindsay were seeking out bands to sign to Lambert's new record company during the fledgling Nu Romantics era.
The band were first introduced to music publisher Simon Napier-Bell of Nomis but eventually signed a recording deal with Jet Records.
The band became famous after their now infamous three-night residency at the former Marquee Club in Wardour St. and recorded three albums and put out two (Sheer Greed and Wasted Youth) between 1980 and 1983.
For fifteen years, from 1982 to 1997, Laffy worked as personal manager for film director Russell Mulcahy.
They formed the company LeBad Films together.
Laffy also served as Mulcahy's personal assistant on his first three features Razorback, Highlander, and Duran Duran's Arena.
He managed Mulcahy through the pinnacle of his career, including ten feature films and dozens of award-winning music videos (including Duran Duran, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Billy Joel, Elton John and Fleetwood Mac) and commercials (including the Ford Motor Company, Smirnoff, Opel, British Petroleum, Universal Studios, and Miller Brewing).
After Girl disintegrated, Laffy joined The London Cowboys, (with former members of The Idols, Sex Pistols and New York Dolls), which released two albums in 1985.
He then played guitar on demos of Duran Duran's 1986 Notorious album.
In 1990, Laffy founded GL Records and released the solo album Money & the Magic.

Laffy formed Sheer Greed with some of Girl's alumni, which put out two albums in 1992 and 1993.
He followed up with a joint Gerry Laffy/Simon Laffy album called Lying With Angels, then a guest appearance on the 1994 album Revelation from Ultravox.
In 1995, he established his own film production company Laffy Michaels Filmworks, which set up John Carpenter's $20 million film Vampires, starring James Woods.
Before his first band, Laffy started his career as a graphic artist at London Weekend Television.
From mid-1997 to mid-2000, Laffy was lead guitarist in Terroristen, John Taylor's band while on hiatus from Duran Duran.
