which both Dick Allix and Tony Goulden left the band and were replaced by guitarist and singer Eddie Wheeler and drummer Mark Ellen (died 18 February 2021). Two more singles followed before the end of 1970: Mike Leander and Eddie Seago's "Come Tomorrow" and Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway's "Carolina's Coming Home", both of which failed to dent the charts on either side of the Atlantic. In addition, a belated US release of "Summer Morning" reached only No. 98, for two weeks. Over the next couple of years more singles were released including Tony Macaulay's "Better By Far" on DJM Records in 1972, but none of them entered the charts. Following that, they decided to concentrate on live performances, touring Europe, where they were having hit singles. Following the mid-1970s, and amid many band member changes, including the departure of Jarrett, who was replaced by Bernie Hagley, the group recorded only sporadically. In 1986, they attempted to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest, finishing third in the UK heat of A Song for Europe, with the song "Dreamer", featuring Jimmy Cassidy on vocals and Phil Kitto on keyboards, alongside long-time members Ellen, Wheeler and Bernie Hagley. In 2007, they toured alongside P. J. Proby. In August 2015, after having played with the band for 43 years, drummer Mark Ellen retired and was replaced by Howard Tibble. In 2018, Graham Walker, from Gary Moore Band, took over on drums. Vanity Fare are still performing today, with the line-up of Hagley, Wheeler, Walker and Steve Oakman. In his spare time, Brice sings second tenor with the City of Bath Male Choir, which reached the final of BBC One's Last Choir Standing. His son, Sebastian Brice, is part of the alt/rock band Avius.
