Ian Irvine (guitars, vocals, later Z Victor 1), Patrick Colohan (guitars, vocals, later Z Victor 1, X-Deceptive, In Cahouts), Dave Gough (bass, vocals, later Z Victor 1) and Tony Dolman (drums, later Z Victor 1, Lawnmower) – recorded a final track: When You Fly‘This track was recorded the day John Lennon died, after whose first band they were named. […] The jangle on this suggests later period mop tops.’
(form Liverpool Cult Classics Unearthed, Volume 2)
The track would be featured as the b-side of the English’s first and only single in 1981:
Hooray for the English (1981)
- Hooray for the English
- When You Fly
‘Hooray for the English’ filled the airwaves with the help of Radio One and achieved moderate success.

About the band’s live performance Breakout Magazine (# 5, December 1981) commented:
‘The English have a very good following. ‘Hooray for the English’ is a local classic and should figure highly in the 1981 poll. Energy is their main ingredient and each song is delivered in a fast and furious pace. The crowd love it. […] Another strong point for the English is their vocals with three members of the band singing, it gives a good variation from song to song’
hooray
