It was through seeing Taste (with Gallagher)
in 1969 that inspired Friars to start. Robin Pike saw them locally and
thought it would be good in little old Aylesbury to have some proper gigs.
He was right.
Gallagher continued touring through the
1980s/early 1990s despite his lifestyle quite literally killing him. He
survived a liver transplant but not the infection that followed and died
in 1995.
The little known Irish band that supported
them became fairly well known.
