Aylesbury legend Bonzi had a special one off poster of this gig made for him with his name painted into it which he kindly allowed us to reproduce

Yes we loved Friars!
 A real shame its confined to history, there were gigs in all the major towns around Ayelsbury but Friars had the edge with its vision on taking on new bands and notice of what its members/punters had to say. Always one for secret gigs visa iggy pop/david bowie etc etc. We got a real buzz playing there.
Yes we were all members and proud, if i could find my old membership I would scan it in and post it on our website.
Nice one for putting the Friars website up
