After leaving the Big Soul Band, he briefly tried for a solo career but with little success. By 1967, he found a positive direction for his career when he became a member of the pit band in the London stage production of the musical Hair. This band recorded the live album Hair Rave Up, which contained Harvey originals and other songs not from the stage show. In 1970, Harvey formed Rock Workshop with Ray Russell; their first, self-titled album contained an early version of “Hole in Her Stocking”, later to appear on Framed. Harvey remained with Hair for five years.

1992, Glen, Cleminson and Ted McKenna banded together to form "The Party Boys" which featured guest vocalists such as Fish, Dan McCafferty and Stevie Doherty with the Stone The Crows keyboard player Ronnie Leahy. This band lasted about one year before deciding to recruit keyboard player Hugh McKenna and finally reform as SAHB. A live album, Live in Glasgow 1993, was released, with Doherty on vocals. This line-up of SAHB disbanded in 1995, before reforming in 2002 for a tribute night to Frankie Miller at The Barrowlands in Glasgow, with the ex-Nazareth guitarist Billy Rankin on vocals. After a year, "Mad" Max Maxwell replaced Rankin.
SAHB official reformed in 1993, with Zero Zero vocalist Stevie Doherty where they enjoyed relative success touring in the UK and Europe, performing at various festivals such as the Tarlair Music Festival as well as recording a live album titled Live in Glasgow 93 which was recorded in Minstrels which is no longer there. This line up of SAHB disbanded shortly after this and Zal decided to take time out.
2002, SAHB reformed briefly with ex-Nazareth guitarist Billy Rankin on vocals for a tribute concert held to Frankie Miller at the Barrowlands, Glasgow which demonstrated that there was still an audience and a diehard following for SAHB and their music. They also performed at the iconic King Tuts venue in Glasgow where a popular bootleg of the gig was recorded but again disbanded shortly after before reuniting two years later.
2004, SAHB reunited for the last time. They returned to their 1970s style, but with a heavier and grungier approach which included Zal bringing back the iconic make-up. This time it was a different look, more Brandon Lee’s Crow with black sunglasses. The band needed someone who was not just a rock vocalist, but someone who could perform in the same way Alex did so they auditioned Max Maxwell who was mostly known as the Ebaneezer Goode dancer on Top Of The Pops but also had a reputation in and around Glasgow with bands such as Edith & The Ladies and The.[clarification needed] They toured and released a live album Zalvation: Live In The 21st Century in 2005. The tour was initially a farewell but due to its popularity, they continued, with tours and festivals between 2004 and 2008 including Sweden Rock Festival, Wickerman Festival, USC Festival, and even a mini-tour of Australia in 2007.
