The following month, on 19 May, the band played the Krakatoa Youth Club, Farnborough, held at Cove County Secondary School. Hughes moved away from the area in ’80 leading to a disbandment; but after auditioning for a vocalist the band reformed. In ’81 they played Agincourt, Camberley with Pete Howard of Skan Hire doing the sound.
Hughes went on to play guitar for John Coghlan’s Quo and Quo Connection.
