After the disbandment of The Specials in 1981, Panter went on to play with General Public with Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger from the original Beat and then with the reformed Specials in the 1990s. He then joined forces with Neol Davies of The Selecter to form a Blues band, Box of Blues.
From 1998 to 2008, Panter taught art to special needs children at Corley Special School in North Warwickshire.
Today, Panter is a member of the reformed Specials and is also in a blues combo, dubbed ‘Blues 2 Go’.
