Shaw and Lanzon would end up joining
Uriah Heep as that band's vocalist and keyboardist, respectively, in 1986, and to this day they remain the band's longest-serving keyboardist and vocalist. Lanzon also worked with
The Sweet from 1985 to '88 juggling Sweet and Heep duties for a time. O'Donoghue went on to join Bronz and in the early Nineties spent a year with
Ian Gillan recording the
Naked Thunder album, credited as Mick O'Donoghue. After running a
music shop in the seaside town of
Folkestone, Kent for twenty years, O'Donoghue retired. Hood became a member of multi-national band Tarzen, led by
Danny Peyronel of
Heavy Metal Kids and
UFO fame, and appeared on their self-titled 1985 debut album. McAuley would form GMT with former Operator band mates Phil Taylor and Chris Glen who released the
One by One EP, consisting of four unreleased Grand Prix songs, in 1986. It was re-issued as
War Games in 1991. McAuley was then recruited by German producer/songwriter
Frank Farian for his all-star project
Far Corporation who landed a UK Top 10 hit with a re-make of
Led Zeppelin's "
Stairway to Heaven" in October 1985. In 1987, a cover of the unreleased Grand Prix song, "One By One", with McAuley on lead vocals, was released as the advance single to a second Far Corporation album, titled
Advantage, but the completed album was ultimately scrapped. By which time McAuley had already teamed up with guitar virtuoso
Michael Schenker to form the
McAuley Schenker Group who recorded three studio albums between 1987 and 1992. McAuley would go on to front the band
Survivor between 2006 and 2011 when he was replaced by his predecessor,
Jimi Jamison. McAuley re-teamed with Schenker live in 2012 and is one of the vocalists to appear on the Michael Schenker Fest albums
Resurrection (2018) and
Revelation (2019). McAuley's latest project is Black Swan with
Jeff Pilson and
Reb Beach whose debut album,
Shake The World, was released in early 2020. == Discography ==
