Aylesbury Music Centre Dance Band

[19] The band performed on the BBC children's programme Blue Peter seven times,[5][7][20] also appearing with Django Bates on Sky TV and on Radio France.

[8]: 4  Members of the band were alongside other Aylesbury Music Centre students who performed as Hogwarts Orchestra in the 2005 film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

[21][22] The band seems to have come to an end around 2014, when the Aylesbury Music Centre transitioned from being part of state education to being an independent trust, and Care took redundancy.

[8]: 3  Care was noted for motivating his young musicians through a delicately poised balance of encouragement[8]: 2  and disparagement, the latter involving an idiosyncratic and elaborate vocabulary of which 'rancid' was a 'long-running favourite' term.

[26] He was characterised by the former Dance Band trumpeter Jules Buckley as "a true guru—a master who could unlock and present to me the secrets of the musical world, absolutely without ego, and with a selfless generosity that is beyond measure".

[27] Care was diagnosed in 2016 with a rare combination of Motor Neurone Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia, working into 2018 while also contributing to research projects on his conditions.

The band's second album, a collaboration with Salena Jones, was recorded at Great Linford Manor, 2–3 April 1999,[40] and received positive reviews.
