New this month, check the site
update for full details of all the odds and ends, but we now have
unseen pictures from 1978 of Tom Robinson, Ian Dury, Camel and for
the first time The
Modern Lovers in the galleries!
We've also got new interviews
with Marillion, Fast Buck, Cruise, Leo O'Kelly and Renaissance
If you've been listening to the
Old Grey Whistle Test at 40 series on Radio 2, you will have heard
Steve Harley publicly praising Friars Aylesbury and David Stopps
for their roles in his success. It can be heard (16 mins in)
here There are so many Friars connections when you listen to
this wonderful series and all 16 episodes are available on the BBC
iPlayer.
Did you also hear Peter Gabriel
talking about Friars recently on Radio 2?
RIP Jackie Leven who played
Friars with Doll by Doll.
David
Roberts has a new book out called
The Rock Atlas.
We'd recommend you buy it as it features stories on 650 great
locations. And are we in it? Here's the proof from the author
himself!
Also please don't forget our
good friends Aylesbury Showcase who are putting on a full day and
night show, Hobble at the Waterside, on February 26th 2012. All
local acts and an amazing price. Please support this gig as this
does directly impact local gigs and the very existence of future
events. Having seen many of these acts personally, I can vouch it
will be a great day. Just added to the bill is Pete and Robin's
Musical Whimsy featuring local legends Pete Trewavas and Robin
Boult and Marillion's Steve Rothery and XTC's Dave Gregory are
already playing in the All Star Band. In the past at Hobbles
events, do you remember Scouting for Girls on the bill? Or the now
legendary Fish/Marillion one off reunion? Or the reformed
Kajagoogoo rocking the Market Square? These cannot happen without
your support. Expect more surprises - you just never know who
might turn up!
