Phil Pickett, writing for the Friars Aylesbury website in 2007 said:
"The infamous Friars Club sticks out in my memory as a really special venue which we'd all heard about before we played there, but never could have imagined how great the audiences were or what an amazing reception we always got whenever we came to Aylesbury.It was wild and during Sailor's 1970's heyday, there was nowhere we played to more enthusiastic audiences anywhere in the UK than Friars. The ecstatic reactions at Glasgow Munich and Hamburg came close but nothing topped Aylesbury and Friars - I've still got the cup we won as "Sensation of the Year" award in pride of place in my studio."

Sailor, happily have never gone away and continue to be popular especially in Europe. Pickett and Serpell have always been there. Henry Marsh rejoined the band in 2006. Georg Kajanus and Marsh reappeared at Friars in 1982 as part of Data. Pickett also co-wrote one of the most radio played songs ever in Karma Chameleon, a huge hit for Culture Club.
