Seinare i karrieren turnerte han med Murray Head, Penguin Cafe Orchestra og Bob Geldof. Han har òg arbeidd med Murray Head i studio, som Between Us (1979), Innocence (1993) og Pipe Dreams (1996). Han gav ut eit soloalbum, Viola Mon Amour, i 1993, etterfølgd av tre album med det tidlegare Caravan-medlemmet Jim Leverton, Follow Your Heart (1995),  Poor Man's Rich Man (2000) og The End of The Pier Show (2006).
