An off-shoot band, led by John Micallef and named John Mick Band, toured Liverpool for six months. A stand-in vocalist, Renato Micallef, was roped in. They opted to be managed by Johnny Gove' of Bagospi Entertainment Agency, who began giving them substantial media coverage. In the Seventies they were regular guests on Television Malta, including the music programmes Parata and Mill-Kaxxa tad-Daqq. Aquarius supported Italian singer Al Bano at the Plaza, also in Sliema.

In the Eighties they included Martin Jenkins, a keyboardist and vocalist, from Rabat Malta, in their line-up.
