Dalton and Gosling both retired from The Kast Off Kinks in 2008, but Dalton does still appear with the band.

Guest musicians

The first bassist for The Kinks, Peter Quaife, played at various shows with the band before his death in 2010. The Kinks' drummer from 1984 to 1996, Bob Henrit, has also performed with the band. At Kinks fan conventions in 2007, 2008 and 2009, The Kast Off Kinks were joined on stage for a few songs by The Kinks' main songwriter and frontman, Ray Davies.

Former Kinks backing singers Debi Doss and Shirlie Roden also perform regularly with The Kast Off Kinks, and Ray Davies' first wife, Rasa Davies, has made occasional guest appearances as backing vocalist. Mark Haley finally guested with the band at the 2011 fan convention in London and again in 2012 in both London and Utrecht.
