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."

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