Andy Fraser, writing
for the Friars Aylesbury website in 2007 said:
"I remember we used to really like playing at the
Friars mainly because of the audience, which was always very supportive of us.
Not being too big, the Friars was very intimate, so one felt a closer connection
with the crowd. A great shame the Friarage Hall has been knocked down."
Simon Kirke, writing for
the Friars Aylesbury website in 2007 said:
"I don't really remember too much that far back. Safe to say the club was a
favourite of ours and I do remember the crowds were always good to us but otherthan that 40 yrs was a long time ago! "
After Free split for the final time, Paul
Rodgers went on, with Simon Kirke, to form the
hugely successful Bad Company. Rodgers also formed The Firm with Jimmy
Page in the 1980s and in addition to solo work went on to be the singer in
a reformed Queen line up in 2005.
Andy Fraser stayed out of the limelight for a number of years after being
in various bands, but returned to music with a new album in 2005 and told
the Friars website in 2009 that he is working on another. Paul Kossoff died in 1976. Rodgers
and Kirke in 2010 are part of the reformed Bad Company.
