The webmaster, north Bucks:

"The moments that Friars dreamt of. Having spent time queuing in the cattle market six weeks previously, the moment came around when what was then starting to become one of the world’s biggest bands took to the boards at Aylesbury. Promoting the Duke album they stormed through classics from the previous 10 years. Phil Collins was on good form too. David Stopps presented the band with the Talent Winners Cup and a dossier/file of the names of all those who had queued up in the cattle market. So one of them has my name somewhere…..A great gig."

Genesis were still filling stadiums until 1992. Collins officially left in 1995, with him enjoying huge solo success alongside his Genesis commitments. Banks and Rutherford soldiered on with Ray Wilson from Stiltskin, but after one album called it a day. The core trio reunited in 2007 and proved they could still fill stadiums. Rumours still persist that a reunion with Hackett and Gabriel is on the cards (having not been able to do it in 2007)

    

Original local advert - as it says, the most in demand concert at that time and at Friars ever as it turned out

Aylesbury Cattle Market was the place to be to get a ticket ! (the webmaster is in there somewhere !)

Presenting the "Talent Winners Cup" - a very happy David Stopps (r) with Mike Rutherford (l) and Phil Collins (centre). Tony Banks is in the background. See story below.
