The Dancing Did - Post-band Activity

Post-band Activity

Harrison became a magazine designer, working for Punch, Chat, and Q, and had no further musical activity.

Dormer joined the band's former roadie Bod in the burlesque rock 'n' roll outfit The Big Beat Band, performing around the Cotswolds at balls and country house parties. He went on to own a clothes shop before becoming a mobile phone salesman.

Roger Smith studied farming, and worked with Rhythm Oil, and then Underneath.

Martyn moved to the West Country where he was in folk duo, Man Overboard, and currently plays with Skiffle Haze. He is also forming a duo with Bill Smarme, The Red Hot Lovers.

Drummer Chris Houghton didn't play for a long while but then joined covers band The Bassetts in the mid 90's, which led to R&B specialists The Disciples, which in turn morphed into a pub/club/function band of the same name. After leaving the Disciples Chris returned to the blues/r&b vein as a founder member of Doctor's Orders in around 2005 whose tagline was (and still is) 'good time blues blues with a twist of funk, rock, swing & jazz', while also playing with Big Cats, a female fronted pop covers band. At around the same time he teamed up with 20 year old songwriter/singer/guitarist Emma Howett to form (with others) the lively Will Dance For Chocolate whose music was described by a local reviewer as 'unashamed bubblegum pop' and by Emma as 'Stalker Pop'. In 2011 he joined Huw James on Guitar & vocals and Julian Caddy on bass to form The John Steeds, who belt out a relentless barrage of 60's hits & rock'n'roll classics. Chris is also the long serving house band drummer at the long running and very popular weekly jam night at The Marr's Bar in Worcester.
