This latter band evolved into The Hawks who released their sole single Words Of Hope in 1980, beating his first band Duran Duran by 1 year. The Hawks eventually dissolved and Duffy formed Tin Tin, a 4 piece synth-led band who recorded Kiss Me (1983). This was picked up by WEA and became a major club hit on both sides of the Atlantic. Financed by Warners, Duffy moved to America for 1 year to write songs but was eventually dropped and returned to England to be signed by Virgin/10. In the meantime, he had relaunched himself as a solo artist called Stephen ‘Tin Tin’ Duffy. A re-recording of Kiss Me (1985) was reissued in 1985 and became a major hit followed by Icing On The Cake an... Read More About Stephen Duffy Biography...  Send Stephen Duffy ringtones to your cell
