Tik and Tok were the back-up for Duran Duran during their sold-out UK tour in 1982 as well as Gary Numan on his comeback UK “Warriors” tour 1983. They appeared on 23 television shows including The Royal Variety Performance in the presence the Queen Elizabeth II, and the cult music show The Tube, hosted by Jools Holland and Paula Yates.
In early 1982 Tim and Sean left Shock to pursue their own vision of a combination of mime, visual image and music, creating a duo called Tik and Tok. Signed to Indie label Survival Records, they released 5 singles and an album ‘Intolerance’ in the UK, Europe and Japan. Their second single ‘Cool Running’ reached No.69 in the UK Top 70 Singles Chart (The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles).
Tim acted in more than 90 TV commercials in the UK and Europe. He had featured roles in the US-UK co-production of the TV series The 10th Kingdom, in films such as Soup, Death Wish 3, Revolution and Decadence, and UK TV shows including The Bill, EastEnders, Casualty, Dempsey and Makepeace, Goodbye Mr Steadman and Father Ted. On stage he played the lead in Steven Berkoff’s Harry’s Christmas and Molière’s School For Wives, Satan in Adam Redundant and The Lecturer in John Bowen’s After The Rain.
After three years of intensive stage work (both in solo and duo shows, and as a member of Jones’ company ‘Silents’) Tim, alongside fellow mime partner Barbie Wilde, formed SHOCK: a rock/mime/burlesque/music troupe with Robert Pereno, Carole Caplin, LA Richards and Sean Crawford. SHOCK played extensively in the rapidly growing New Romantic club scene in London in the 1980s. Its first SHOCK single released on RCA Records, ‘Angel Face”, (co-produced with Rusty Egan from Visage and Richard James Burgess from Landscape) was a minor dance floor smash at clubs throughout the UK as well as at New York. SHOCK continued to perform in The Blitz Club The Venue as well as The Venue, the Playboy Club, The Embassy Club, The Lyceum, as well as ‘The People’s Pala show in The Rainbow Theatre. They accompanied Gary Numan for three nights at his “Farewell” concerts in the Wembley Arena in April 1981. They were reduced to a four-piece group following the sudden removal from Robert as well as LA in June 1981. SHOCK came out with a second single called ‘Dynamo Beat’ on RCA the same label. It was a big dance floor popular at UK bars, yet was unable to reach the top of the charts across the country.
