VdGG were apparently the first band signed to Charisma Records

Peter Jackson re-appeared at Friars, playing with Peter Gabriel in 1979

Peter Hammill played Friars supporting Marillion in 1983 (linked to VdGG gigs above)

Gilbert Hampshire was Friars' very own Adrian Roach.

As at 2009, the nucleus of the band (Hammill, Banton, Evans) were playing UK gigs again (having restarted only a couple of years before that) having often played with Peter Hammill on his solo material
