Soon after the recording of the live album "[url=https://www.discogs.com/Various-Farewell-To-The-Roxy/master/465648]Farewell To The Roxy[/url]" Burke joined [a=Tubeway Army] and recorded the single ‘Bombers”. Burke then briefly joined [a=Robert and the Remoulds] and recorded the single "X no 1 / Do eyes ever meet?" He then formed a new band with Open Sore / Tubeway Army drummer [a=Barry Benn] which was originally called "The Station Boys", but due to a heavy controlling management the band was pushed into using the name [a=Tubeway Patrol]. Because of the Tubeway name and the contractual ties of the management, the band were then dropped by their record company, leading to Burke splitting the band and concentrating on a solo career. He also played guitar for [a=Jayne County].
