Barrie Masters, writing for the Friars Aylesbury website in 2007 said:
"In my humble opinion Friars was the best all round gig in the country. The size is great as you're never too far from stage or bar, acoustics are excellent and from the bands point of view a perfect stage size and great dressing rooms.David Stopps ( promoter in my day ) an excellent host, always looked after us well and also ran a tight ship. I must add that the Iggy Pop gig with David Bowie on keys, rates in my top ten gigs of all time. So as you can tell, you won't get a bad word about Friars from me, and I have done more gigs than most bands in the country, most of them I have forgotten by now, but I always remember the Friars gigs I have done. if only all gigs were as good as....."

Eddie and the Hot Rods still gig regularly today. Guess what? Eddie and the Hot Rods will come back grace Aylesbury in the Summer of 2008 ! They headline Hobble on the Cobbles in the Market Square
Confirmation that this was the third fastest selling gig in Friars history to that point. Thanks to Steve Wright from the Radio Stars site for these two cuttings.
