Deane left in 1982 to chase a solo career. He ended up as a writer and was the screenwriter for the hit film Kinky Boots.
All Forgotten are a 5 piece rock band from woking in surrey. We take in a number of influences and inspirations, be they musicial, artistic or just the trials and tribulations of life to write and play what we want to hear. We've been lucky enough to play with the likes of Drop Dead Gorgeous, Burn Down Rome, We Are The Ocean and even played a few dates on the road with You Me At Six and Flood of Red. We write music for ourselves, and we think it's rad that people like hearing our stuff as much as we love playing it.
