Why did they start to be known as the Sherbs?
After the Sherbet broke up in the mid-1979 they became the Sherbs.

In 1980, Sherbet reconvened as The Sherbs with exactly the same personnel they had before the split: Braithwaite, Harvey, Mitchell, Porter and Sandow.

Question: Had the other band members left?
