The Auctioneers

The Auctioneers were a mid to late 80's UK guitar band from Southend. They were included on the 3CD deluxe reissue of the 'C86' album in 2014. In action from 1985 to 1988, members were Martin Clarke (vocals & guitars), Chris Clarke (bass), Darrall Knight (guitars), Martin Temperton (drums), and Matthew Woodman (keyboards). Initially formed around the melodic songwriting of vocalist Martin Clarke, they rapidly developed a more collaborative alternative rock sound. [SOURCE: FACEBOOK]
