As Filip mentions, he still plays live regularly with the Bevis Frond.
Well worth checking out.  And on his solo albums, he plays most of the
instruments.

Apparently he has recovered from hepatitis, but he also apparently didn't
have it nearly as badly as Rod Goodway from Magic Muscle, who is still not
very active for that reason (hence future MM work, at least live
performance, seems unlikely).

As a bass player myself, I wholeheartedly agree with that evaluation!
