They reunited in 2005 for a tribute to Mike Smith of the The Dave Clark Five. They went on to play concerts around the world. Their last big performance together took place in August 2008 before 17,000 fans. They were joined onstage by longtime friend Joan Baez.

The younger member of the 1960s British duo Peter and Gordon, their rendition of "A World Without Love" became the first John Lennon-Paul McCartney composition--not recorded by The Beatles--to reach #1 on the charts (June 1964). Another Lennon-McCartney song, "Nobody I Know", followed soon after. Their 1966 hit release "Woman" was written by McCartney under the pseudonym, "Bernard Webb", as McCartney was eager to see if he could score a hit song without the Lennon-McCartney names attached.
