The webmaster, north Bucks:
"I cannot admit to
being Camel's hugest fan, simply because I had not heard much of their
stuff to make a judgment, but knew they were popular, especially in
Aylesbury. Someone lent me the Nude album upon which this tour was based
and fell in love with "City Life" from the album, so that was it, I went!
They were pretty good, but one of the strangest things for me was the
audience sitting on the floor for support act, Dave Evans, a singer
songwriter guitarist. I had never seen this before, nor have I seen it
since."
Colin Bass, in a playful
mood on his website (and at our asking after we pointed out (as well as
playing with Steve Hillage) he DID play with Camel in 1979/1981!) said in
2008:
"What
a wonderful institution Friars at Aylesbury was. I believe that Camel
played there several times but I wasn't there, it all being before my time
"Well
that's very interesting and proof, if any were needed, that my memory is
not what it used to be, if indeed it ever was. As my uncle said, we will
never forget the day we lost our memory. But if it was in October 79 then
I was indeed there and if I could remember it, it would be as a wonderful
occasion.
Now, just help me out a little here, Aylesbury is just north of Scunthorpe,
right?"
