Subsequent Careers
Following the disbandment of The Undertones in 1983, Feargal Sharkey was invited by former Depeche Mode keyboardist Vince Clarke and recording engineer Eric Radcliffe to sing as a guest vocalist upon the single "Never Never", which was released by The Assembly in 1983. Sharkey was never officially a member of The Assembly. Nevertheless, the single "Never Never" did chart as high as number 4 in the UK charts; however, the song proved to be Sharkey's only recording with The Assembly.
Subsequently, Sharkey embarked upon a brief, but commercially successful solo career in the mid- to late-1980s.
Two of the other band members, John O'Neill and Damian O'Neill formed That Petrol Emotion, a highly regarded, pioneering rock act which released fifteen singles and six albums between 1985 and 1994.

Famous quotes containing the words subsequent and/or careers:
“Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connections can supply; and it must be by a long and unnatural estrangement, by a divorce which no subsequent connection can justify, if such precious remains of the earliest attachments are ever entirely outlived.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“So much of the trouble is because I am a woman. To me it seems a very terrible thing to be a woman. There is one crown which perhaps is worth it all—a great love, a quiet home, and children. We all know that is all that is worthwhile, and yet we must peg away, showing off our wares on the market if we have money, or manufacturing careers for ourselves if we haven’t.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
