help and direction I needed at the time." In 2004 at the Friends Reunion organised by a fan, Banks and Russell were joined by Ian Niblo on bass and Matt Russell (John's teenage son) on drums to perform a karaoke set. Banks was later talked into the capacity reunion gig at the Greenbelt Festival, with Keith Smith completing the line-up on lead vocals. In 2005, they re-worked and released the song "One Rule" for Trade Justice. They released the second track from the current line up, "Forged from Faith", as a digital download in October 2005. In January 2007, Smith's departure from the group was announced. The vocals at their first gig in Harrow after Smith's departure were handled by Pete Banks and Russell and gave the band an "authentic" vocal style. Before Smith's departure, there had been plans to re-enter the recording studio. A band biography, in union with a Christian publishing house, with the working title of Short Change, by a band associate was shelved in 2007. In May 2008, the band announced the arrival of Tim Turner as drummer, fresh from Titian Red. For their autumn 2008 tour, the band teamed up with singer–songwriter Rob Halligan, who not only fronted the band (lead vocals and guitar), but also played some of his own material during the sets. Halligan also recorded a cover of the band's song "Carry Me Home" on his 2008 album, Best Thing That Happened. The band continued to perform, with an annual mini tour until 2013. As of 2021 their last performance was at the Jesus Centre in Coventry as the opening act for Rob Halligan's Love Come Down album launch on 21 November 2014. On 4 June 2022 Rob Halligan performed a version of "I can't make you walk" at "Big Church Day Out".
