He filled this role for ten months before leaving to continue his acting education. He was later drummer for Cats Under Pressure (1984) and Chantoozies (1986–90). Reyne co-wrote "Polar Notch" and "Let Me Be" (with Simon Hussey) for Cats Under Pressure, the latter was covered by Daryl Braithwaite. Whilst with Chantoozies, Reyne also sang backing vocals. Chantoozies most popular tracks were covers of Redbone's "Witch Queen", John Kongos' "He's Gonna Step on You Again" and Stephen Stills' "Love the One You're With"; fellow members included Ally Fowler, Tottie Goldsmith and Eve von Bibra.
