Timeline

Thomas Alexander Bailey is an English singer, songwriter, musician, composer and record producer.

1977

Bailey formed Thompson Twins in 1977 with Pete Dodd (guitar and vocals), John Roog (guitar), and Jon Podgorski (drums).

Podgorski did not want to move to London, so Andrew Edge played drums with them for one year before Chris Bell joined.

The group eventually ended up as a trio with Bailey on lead vocals, guitar, bass, and keyboards, his then girlfriend Alannah Currie (percussion, saxophone, and backing vocals), and Joe Leeway (percussion and vocals).

1980

Bailey came to prominence in the early 1980s as the lead vocalist for the new wave band Thompson Twins, which released five singles that entered the top ten charts in the United Kingdom during the 1980s: "Love On Your Side", "We Are Detective", "Hold Me Now", "Doctor! Doctor!", and "You Take Me Up".

He was the only member of the band to have formal musical training.

Thompson Twins became fixtures on MTV during the 1980s as the videos for "Hold Me Now", "Lay Your Hands on Me" and "King for a Day" were played frequently.

1983

In 1983, Bailey played keyboards and percussion on Paul Haig's debut studio album Rhythm of Life.

1988

In 1988 Bailey collaborated with Phil Thornalley, who worked frequently with Thompson Twins, on Thornalley's only solo studio album, Swamp.

Aside from playing instruments, Bailey also produced three tracks, remixed three tracks along with Thornalley and co-wrote the track "When I Get to Heaven".

1991

Subsequent to the marriage of Bailey and Currie, Thompson Twins released their final studio album, Queer, in 1991.

Bailey was married to Thompson Twins member Alannah Currie from 1991 to 2003.

1994

From 1994, Bailey was also a member of its later incarnation, Babble, releasing two commercially unsuccessful studio albums.

In 1994, Bailey and Currie formed the electronica-orientated duo, Babble.

1999

In 1999 Bailey produced the New Zealand band Stellar, and in 1999 he won Record Producer of the Year in New Zealand for their debut studio album, Mix.

2001

Between 2001 and 2015, Bailey released several dub and electronica albums under the name International Observer.

In 2002 Bailey became the figurehead for the dub project International Observer.

Recent performances with 'Holiwater', a cinematic fusion of Indian classical music (Sarod- Vikash Maharaj), electronica (keyboards – Bailey) and video (film maker – Andrei Jewell), blur boundaries between art installation and performance.

The band was formed to highlight issues of water pollution on the Ganges.

2010

In 2010 Bailey and astronomer and visual artist José Francisco Salgado formed an audiovisual ensemble called Bailey-Salgado Project (BSP).

BSP combines music with photography, video, and motion graphics to create multimedia works that have as subject the physical world.

Their first work together, a short film entitled Sidereal Motion, was previewed in Bath, England in October 2010.

The 2014 Retro Futura Tour also featured Howard Jones, Midge Ure, China Crisis, and Katrina Leskanich of Katrina and the Waves.

During an interview with the Stuck in the '80s podcast prior to the tour, Bailey said that while preparing for his return to the stage he went to a store and bought a Thompson Twins greatest-hits CD to help him learn the songs again.
