Teddy Osei, writing for the Friars Aylesbury website in 2007 said:
'One
of the favourite venues for Osibisa in the early 70's was Friars
Aylesbury.
The vibes was so great and lots of fun to perform to wonderful live music
lovers.
I remember at one summer gig at Friars the place was jamming hot and the
band
was in one of their cosmic heights that resulted in some of the fans took
their clothes
off and danced naked. (see below !)That
was the magic of Osibisa and Friars.
Will always remember this'
