Solo Career
Following the split, Power released the John Leckie produced solo album, Happening for Love in June 2003. Power would later comment on the album that "“after the demise of Cast, I was still writing Cast-like tracks, but without the verve I had when I believed in it. "
Since the La's reformation, Power has gone on to release 2 further solo albums, more in the acoustic folk vein on his own Tanuki Tanuki label, Willow She Weeps in October 2006 and Stormbreaker in January 2008. From 2006 to 2009, Power performed live with The John Power Band featuring backing musicians Jay Lewis (bass, slide guitar) and Steve Pilgrim (drums). Oli Hughes replaced Pilgrim as drummer after he left to play with Paul Weller.

Famous quotes containing the words solo and/or career:
“All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
