Career
He 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 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 in the role of Boy Babe in the production of "Babes in the Wood" at the London Palladium. This production featured notable actors 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. Holoway was awarded the TV Times Personality of the Year award in 1976.
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.
He has two children.
