Mike Holoway (born 28 January 1961)[1] is a British musician and actor. He was the drummer and percussionist in Flintlock and at the same time became an actor, notably in the cult TV series The Tomorrow People.
Holoway was taught to play the drums at the age of five by his grandfather and, at eight, he joined a stage school to pursue an acting career. He gained his secondary school education at Erkenwald Comprehensive School in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. He also studied music theory, percussion and drums at the Barking & Essex College of Music and played in the Essex Jazz Band. His first stage appearance was as Boy Babe in Babes in the Wood at the London Palladium with Edward Woodward and Derek Nimmo.
At ten, he made his first TV appearance with the Young Revivals – two years later they changed their name to Flintlock. Comprising Mike Holoway, Derek Pascoe, John Summerton, Bill Rice and Jamie Stone, the group made numerous TV appearances on programmes such as Blue Peter, Magpie, You Must Be Joking, Pauline's Quirkes, Fanfare and Top of the Pops.[2] Holoway was awarded the TV Times Personality of the Year award in 1976.
In 1984, he had a starring role in the Minder episode "A Star is Gorn" in which he played Zac Zolar, a pop star tired of his fame who fakes his death so as he may be rid of the corrupt influence of his agent.
From 1985, Holoway toured in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,[3] one of the most successful runs of the musical.[citation needed] Since then, Holoway has appeared in a number of stories in The Tomorrow People audio series, released during the 2000s on CD. In 2007, Flintlock reunited for a one-off gig. In early 2018, Holoway announced the impending release of a new 13-track album. The lead single, "Tides of Love", was released on 9 February 2018.
Holoway has also collaborated with Bernie Taupin and co-written several hit songs for Tiffany, Sonia, Cindy Lauper and Madonna.
