Morgan Fisher, writing for the Friars Aylesbury website in 2008 said: "I don't really have any specific memories/memorabilia re Friars, except that I always enjoyed playing there. Of course next year (2009) is the 40th anniversary of the formation of Mott. That would be the time to reform for a world tour... No offers have come in yet - we need to get those 87,000 ex-Friars members clamouring for it!"
The British Lions called it a day in 1978. John Fiddler is still in the business. Overend's whereabouts are unknown. Dale Griffin, we believe, is not in the best of health following two strokes. However, post Lions, he became a renowned BBC Radio 1 producer and even produced some early Nirvana tracks. A live DVD of the British Lions in concert is planned for 2008
