Session Work

 

  Where are they now ? Of course, particular members of Europeans and How We Live have gone on to much bigger things! This page gives a brief overview of individual appearances since the bands split. The Euros interviews give a much more in-depth description of their activities. This is by no means a complete listing!! Geoff has admitted to playing on over 400 records over the years, and to detail each one would be too much!!

Steve Hogarth
 
Steve Hogarth worked as a session musician in the late 1980s, playing keyboards and singing occasional backing vocals for a number of artists. Apparently in 1988 he was asked to join The The as their full time keyboard player, but he declined. However, in February 1989 he joined UK group Marillion as lead vocalist. He released a solo album called "Ice Cream Genius" under the name "h" in 1996, accompanied by a brief tour.  Marillion have released a number of albums since Steve has joined, and tour regularly around Europe.

Colin Woore has been rather quiet since the demise of How We Live in 1988, although he did receive minor attention when Marillion's version of his co-written track "Dry Land" entered the charts in 1992. In 1989 his track "If You Really Need Me" appeared on a charity CD for International Hostages release called "Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime." In 1990-91 he worked and toured the world with Joan Armatrading. In 1993 he co-wrote material with Tears For Fears' Curt Smith for his album "Soul On Board", and has since worked with Robert Bell of the Blue Nile, and Graham Lyle. He is currently working on a solo album.

Fergus Harper has been elusive since the Europeans split back in 1985.
He is no longer involved in the music business, and now flies long-haul all over the world as a steward with British Airways
