The Plague are notable as a band who played [[London]] venue [[The Roxy]] many times, as well as many more shows all over the country.<ref name="punk77"/> They also scored a minor hit with their 1978 single "In Love", which received [[BBC Radio 1|Radio 1]] airplay and became a favourite of the late [[John Peel]], a long-time champion of underground music.

The Plague got back together in 2005 when Gareth and Greg, who had remained in-touch, contacted Marc. Graham Robinson declined to rejoin, possibly because he is now living in [[Scotland]], making rehearsals a difficult matter. The band understandably decided to become a three-piece, with Gareth taking over bass duties in place of rhythm guitar. Since their reactivation, The Plague have played gigs in [[London]] and are working towards recording and releasing an album of brand new recordings, containing both new and old material.<ref name="original"/><ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,,1888155,00.html Are You Happy? - A short interview with lead guitarist/vocalist Marc Jefferies at] www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,,1888155,00.html''.
