Nick Beggs, Kajagoogoo, writing for the Friars Aylesbury website in 2008 said:
'Playing Friars was always a buzz. My earliest gig there was with Art Nouveau (Kajagoogoo before Limahl). We opened for the Scars and John Cooper Clark. AMAZING.It was the first big stage I ever played on and couldn't believe how different it felt to a club gig'

If ever a band had bad luck, it was Fashion and it was no wonder the two support bands would outstrip them eventually. After this tour, they set about in 1983 recording the follow up to the glorious Fabrique. Drummer Dik Davies was seriously injured after being knocked off of his bicycle in Paris where they were recording. By the time the follow up, 'Twilight of Idols' had come out in 1984, they had largely been forgotten about. Their summer 1984 tour was their last and they also supported Kajagoogoo returning the compliment. Mulligan formed a new band as at 1985 called D'Zyon. Dik Davies is believed to have passed away and little information is known on the whereabouts on the remaining members.
Kajagoogoo within three months were number 1 with 'Too Shy' and headlined Friars in 1983. Howard Jones also went on to huge success having his breakthrough hit 'New Song' in 1983 and went on to headline Friars four times.
