remember playing there and I remember the Phil Collins gig (Brand X) but
much else has slithered into the past. We are talking 32 years ago!'
Chris Sharley,
Sassafras, writing for the Friars Aylesbury website in 2009:
I
have fond memories of playing The Friars in 1974 & ''75 with Welsh band
Sassafras. one gig in particular stands out when we were on with Bebop
Deluxe. What a great band they were? I found a poster on an old Friars
site which was a nice bit of memorabilia for my scrap book. Thanks...
The drummer from Bebop was originally from Hackensack, with Nicky Moore
on vocals. Strangely enough I later became a great friend and did many
gigs with Nicky in the 80's and fairly recently the 'Back For A Bit
Tour'.
Good luck with the 'New' Friars and I'll follow with interest.

Dai & myself as the original guitarists"
