The Curse Of Voon: Postscript

This story would not be there to be told without Neil, Simon, Chris, Gaynor, George, Dave (David, actually), Jane, Aiden, or Jamie, nor without the bewildered understanding of people like Haz & Dave at the Mag, Cody and Colin at the Pump & Tap, Andy at the Charlotte or the many other promoters who didn't know what hit them. We also relied heavily on people like Cathy, Brendan, Steph, Matt & Zac, Stu, Prolapse, Stevie Marmite, and the almost several other people who came to see us, even occasionally. To all of them, much thanks.

After Voon finished, Neil went on to play in Booster and Zing (both with Jamie), Bungalow Bill, Gnarf!, John Sims and, along with me and Tim the Celebrity Drummer, The Council. As well as The Council I played with the K-Stars, guested in Cha Cha 2000, and joined Chris's next band, Ernie and Joe. Chris also played solo quite a bit and is currently in The Unknown Stuntman. Simon is set to go to acting school, Jamie is doing some dancey stuff, and the whereabouts of all the other ex-members is a mystery.

On December 4th 1996 Voon made their big comeback gig at the Princess Charlotte. We did intend to do a big all night show on a weekend, ploughing through the entire back catalogue with every surviving member, but all we could get was a 20 minute midweek third on the bill support.

Somehow that seems fitting.
