And then SMTV ended, Chums finished.

We've got, you know, Top of the Pops was coming to the end of an era.

And all these shows kind of like just stopped and dropped out.

And then it wasn't fun anymore.

You know, a lot of how we promoted our music was taken away.

There was downloading happening.

You know, you didn't have to go into radio stations anymore and that was half the fun, a radio tour.

And so the shift in the music industry ultimately, I think, ended our career as musicians and as, you know, as an artist.

Yes, yes.

Navigating that transition in, you know, the mid to late 80s

noughties was was difficult record companies were folding you know v2 was sold we went to another independent label and and that didn't happen and and so it was like a vulnerable time in that moment and and and then you know when liberty x ended

it just stopped.

We were just together one day in the dressing room after a gig and a couple of us had been drinking and it was messy.

It wasn't one of our finest performances and we had become lazy and a couple of us wanted to start a family and get married and we were all just tired of each other's bullshit.

I know a few people were tired of our bullshit and it was vocalised, just the five of us.

And then we stopped.

I think we had one or two last gigs to do.

And we fulfilled our commitments and just walked away from each other.

And that was it.

There was no big dramatic press conference and there was no big announcement.
