TUBEWAY PATROL

Tubeway Patrol were formed in 1980 by ex- Tubeway Army members Sean Burke and Barry Benn. First to join was Billy Holland on bass guitar. After many auditions the band finally recruited Nicky Croombes , a light middle weight boxer of all things on vocals .Having no luck finding a keyboard player, the band then went into the studio with Burke doubling up on synths as well as guitar. This first demo secured the band a record deal with Video Records [WEA], who then took them into The Music Centre Studios ,Wembley where they mastered "Do eyes ever meet" and "No Time". Both songs were written by Sean Burke. These recordings were never released.Soon after the band then found new management , who then took them into Abbey Road Studios .There they mastered the same two tracks again , this time with Charlie Tumahi [ Be-bop Deluxe bassist ] and Ian Pearce helping Burke with the production plus with Debbie Katz  keyboards .www.tubewaypatrol.co.uk. .. ..
