Upon the demise on Midnight Circus, Bowes and Rainbird formed Gambler with Porter and Hay. The band’s debut was at one of the Tumbledown Dick, Farnborough‘s Monday nights, which were the Rock Nights. Saxophonist Jane Williams joined the band shortly after their debut.

In the 70’s Bowes was also in Palantir, Stag, and Sneak Preview and played bass for Van Der Graaf Generator’s David Jackson on some demo work. In the 80’s he was a member of Shoot the Butler and Flix. He has since released 7 LPs and 3 Singles as Ron D Bowes.
