Thank you for making this
massive
I've
taken the opportunity to refresh the website again and there's even more
info on all the support bands and more audio/video links. Some of the
stuff is really good and some not......
Since my
last ramblings, Friars Aylesbury Phase Three closed and Friars reopened as
Phase Four at the
shiny Waterside Theatre.
What a
way to go though at the Civic, the most in demand gig ever for the last night and
queues right through the Market Square. Paul
Weller played a blinder, the boy done good as they say. We could have sold
it out many times over.
But
Friars rebirth has seen some amazing gigs. I was blown away by The Pretty
Things who were so good. SLF coming home to a rammed crowd was incredible
and the Kid Creole/China Crisis gig was so good, why didn't it sell out?
Two gigs
in the new theatre so far and a new set of problems with the running of
the venue now out of council hands. Despite that, two interesting and very
contrasting gigs with the Buzzcocks and Hawkwind.
Long may
we reign and conquer.
To re-iterate again, there are many people
without whom I would never have got going with this website, they know who
they are – thank you.
Send this to your friends
and link to your sites just to show people how great this place was out in
the sticks in the Home Counties which is still held in great affection
nearly 43 years after it all started..
