Malcolm James Allured is a drummer. He was one of two drummers for Rock and roll revival group Showaddywaddy from 1973 to 1984.

A member of The Golden Hammers, they met the band Choise, and became Showaddywaddy. Allured, who was nicknamed The Duke, was one of two drummers, although Allured was mostly at centre stage dancing and singing backing vocals with Buddy Gask and Al James, leaving the drumming to Romeo Challenger.

Allured left the band in 1984, the first original member to ever depart. He has since operated pubs around North England, and formed his own rock and roll group, The Fabulous Teddys, (which at one point included Gask) who still appear at music festivals and tour the UK as of 2024.
