The band composed the theme for the BAFTA-nominated film Cast Offs and is itself documented in the film Heavy Load. The band were also the founders of the charity Stay Up Late, a campaign seeking to improve the social lives of people with learning difficulties by calling for more flexible staff hours. Stay Up Late is a national charity promoting full and active social lives for people with learning disabilities. Heavy Load split in September 2012 with a final gig in London's Trafalgar Square as part of the Paralympic festivities. Simon Barker died suddenly on 10 August 2017.
