You will see a general theme from fans and artistes alike, that the club actually cared about what it put on and listened to the club members and tried to keep most people happy, although this was no easy feat. To this end, Friars ran members polls which ranged from ascertaining the members favourite bands from the previous year, who they would like to see and what they didn't like. The results were fascinating and did have a direct bearing on the likes of The Jam and Steve Hillage playing Friars at the stage when these bands should have been beyond the club's grasp.
