McCarty (Illusion), writing for the Friars Aylesbury website in 2008 said:
"
Friars was a good "old fashioned" gig that hadn't changed much since the
60`s. If I remember by 1976 (Illusion gigs)there
weren't many of those
venues left. There were either little clubs or huge venues. Friars always
had that sort of "hippie" vibe. Quite different to the punk thing
happening at the time."
