Nightwing first appeared as a band in August 1980.
The embryo of the band began in 1978 as Gordon Rowley and Friends when Kenny Newton and Gordon came together to play a few live dates with drummer Pete Livens and guitarist Eric Percival, while Gordon was waiting for clearance on his American work permits.
Gordon had just left the very successful cult trio Strife after eight years to pursue a career in America after being asked to work with Crosby Stills and Nash during an American tour with Strife.
