[4] Almost immediately, Peter Astor and Dave Morgan formed a new band, The Weather Prophets,[2] who were also signed to Creation.
In 1989, Creation finally issued a compilation of their work entitled Once Around the Fair: The Loft 1982–1985, with Magpie Eyes 1982–1985 appearing on Rev-Ola in 2005.
[2] In 2006, the band unexpectedly reformed, playing a handful of gigs and releasing a single of new material on Static Caravan Recordings.
In 2015, to celebrate 30 years since their "Up The Hill and Down the Slope" single topped the indie chart, the band played shows in New York in May (headlining the NY Popfest in Brooklyn)[6] and in London in June, before recording their third BBC radio session - this time for fan and supporter, Gideon Coe, on BBC 6 Music.
[7] The Loft is featured heavily on the Creation Artefact CD compilation released by Cherry Red Records in September 2015.
