Everything hit a downward spiral which resulted in Simon Courtney deciding to leave the band. Without Simon there was no longer any point, and The Spoons was over…… Lance and Budge continued as G.L.O.W and then later as The Bewley Brothers up until late 1994 The Bewley Brothers reprised in 2000 to 2002
