Edgar Broughton, writing for
the Friars Aylesbury website in 2008 said:
"Gosh!
That is all a bit hazy these days. I just remember it being the best gig
for miles around and that is about it. I suppose I was always a teeny bit
stoned, come to think of it."
A popular turn at Friars, it was no surprise
that Gillan made four headlining appearances including the 1982 date on
his farewell tour as he had been advised that his voice could be under
threat. Gillan the band fell apart and subsequently (after vocal cord
surgery) went on to front a reformed Deep Purple who still tour to this
day.
