Pete Bell, Friars fan from Weston Turville, writing for the Friars Aylesbury website in 2008 said:
"I remember Def Leppard in 1980 - Joe Elliot's tight leather trousers and all! The support band, Witchfynde had a very good single out at the time 'Give Em Hell' which is worth downloading for any old metalheads out there. The lead singer - Steve Bridges - wore a tassled leather waistcoat and really rocked out for a support band! Sledgehammer, the other support band were from High Wycombe I think and appeared on a compilation album, 'Metal For Muthas' with the song, um 'Sledgehammer'"

This lot made in huge in America and still tour today in Britain's biggest venues. On the way though the band had to deal with the tragedies of the death of Steve Clarke and Rick Allen learning to play a special drum kit with his feet and one arm after he lost the other in a road accident.
