The band held regular gigs at venues throughout 1979/80 such as The Corndolly in Oxford and The Horn of Plenty in St Albans. They performed material from their album in 1980 along with other songs written both by Jeffries and Brewer, including two tracks from the Druid album, [m452269]. By 1981, the band had split into two separate groups; joining Neil Brewer in the post-punk band Splash (31) was drummer Bryan Fitzpatrick. Whilst Dane and Paul formed the pop duo The Vetos and continued to play some Never Never Band songs between 1981/83 at the same venues.
