Six months later Ian Kenny was replaced by Brian Denniston and in 1971 Nod Kerr departed to join the Nicholson Brothers (The Poets) and was replaced by Matt Cairns and Mario Tortolano was replaced by Robin Birrel (keyboards). In 1972, the line up changed completely and Robin Birrel and Matt Cairns departed. They were replaced by Billy MacIssac (keyboards) from The Bubbles, Kenny Hyslop (drums) from The Beings, and Jim Ure (Midge Ure) (guitar) from local band Stumble. In 1974 Kevin McGinlay left the group for a solo career and the Salvation changed their name to Slik. Jim McGinlay left Slik in 1977 and was replaced by Russell Webb
