Clock was an English band primarily led by Stu Allan and Pete Pritchard. They started as a techno music English "2 Unlimited" when they recruited rapper Marcus Thomas (using the name ODC MC), and vocalist Lorna Saunders (using the name Tinka) to front the act. Thomas left in 1998, to join the band Tzant, to be replaced by Ché-gun Peters.
They had hits with nine covers in the 1990s on the UK Singles Chart than any other act.[1] They also released hardcore versions of their hits under the name Visa.[2] Clock broke up in 1999 because for a number of personal reasons they weren't able to continue at the same pace as they had before.[3]
In 2004, Saunders appeared on BBC Television's Never Mind The Buzzcocks in the celebrity line up. It was announced that she was now working as a legal secretary. In 2015 it was revealed that Lorna Saunders works as a lawyer for Jackamans and she's married with two kids.[4]
