latter part of 1981. Other television appearance included Saturday morning TV. Q-Tips opened for The J. Geils Band, The Knack, Thin Lizzy, Bob Marley and the Average White Band. The band toured with After the Fire, and supported The Who on their 12-date UK tour in 1981. In 1981, Q-Tips played the Montreux Jazz Festival. With poor record sales after the release of two albums and seven singles, the Q-Tips broke up in early 1982 when Paul Young signed a solo recording contract with CBS Records, retaining Kewley as keyboardist and co-writer. In late 1982 and early 1983, Farr, Hughes, Blandamer and Watts toured with Adam Ant on the UK and US legs of his Friend or Foe tour, and Farr, Hughes and Watts remained for Ant's 1984 Strip tour. Young briefly teamed up again with Q-Tips for a reunion tour in 1993.
