2 BOYS FROM ENGLAND

2 Boys From England were a talented synth pop band that was formed in 1988 who were previously known as T"n"T. The pin-up duo consisted of Tony Buckley as the lead singer and Toney Hobson as backing vocals. Both boys were based in Manchester and shortly after recording their first song "Don't turn your back" with collaborator and producer Alan Burke,they staged a 20 minute gig at Henry Africas in Oldham on 8th August 1988. The event was filmed in order for the boys to become recognised by the music industry. The short video paid off and resulted in them being signed up by former Pet Shop Boys producer Bobby Orlando. They also cemented a management deal with Bernard Jay who was famous for managing the career of the late Divine (Glen Milstead) and former member of The Supremes Mary Wilson. They recorded 10 tracks with Bobby Orlando in New York with "Night Caller" and "Suspension" being 2 tracks that carry a very distinct Orlando sound to them. Several of the tracks and video footage of Henry Africas can be found on youtube at (tonybuzzybee).
