where did the name spandau ballet come from
Spandau Ballet The band changed its name to The Makers in late-1976 and played as a punk band at the Roxy in their early years.[9] In 1978 they became a power pop band and changed the name to Gentry, under which they played a few gigs, including at Kingsway College. They changed the band's name to Spandau Ballet after a friend of the band, journalist and DJ Robert Elms, saw the phrase "Spandau Ballet" scrawled on the wall of a nightclub lavatory during a visit to Berlin.[10]
