memories
Mick Abrahams:

"I do remember playing Friars on a few occasions but I really can’t remember anything specifically with the exception that they were all good gigs. I am happy to say some good words about Friars for the website as I am a fairly local boy and played Aylesbury right from the age of 16!"

what happened next
Blodwyn Pig: Mick Abrahams is still going strong occasionally re-joining forces with Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson.

Mick had his 65th birthday party gig in summer 2008 in Milton Keynes featuring the original Blodwyn Pig ! Mick has sadly been blighted by ill health but remains optimistic of gigging again

Andy Pyle went on to play in Wishbone Ash and also in Ken Hensley (Uriah Heep)'s band

Little is known of Narnia except they may have been folk/Christian orientated.

 
odds and trivia
Narnia's Russell and Banks went on to form After The Fire who had some minor hit singles.
