Friars Heroes Award is awarded to Mandrake Paddle Steamer

 

 

We said: The Mandrakes have been awarded a Friars Heroes Award to commemorate the fact they were the first ever artist at Friars on June 2nd 1969. We were delighted that Paul Riordan was able to make the 40th anniversary party.

The webmaster: On stage at the 40th anniversary party: We're delighted to present this award to the first ever act to play at Friars Aylesbury 40 years ago tomorrow!

They said: What have I done to deserve an award - Stayed alive ? I would be very honoured to accept the award - on behalf of the rest of the band - who are scattered around the world these days.
