what happened next
If ever a band would be welcome at Friars today, it must be this band and they came 'home' to Friars in 2009. SLF split in 1983 and reformed five years later. Although the line up has not always been stable - Burns the only constant, they did feature Jam hero Bruce Foxton for 15 years. Ali McMordie rejoined the band in 2006 (when we saw them and they were on cracking form as if it was this era all over again) and are still making people of a certain age very happy in 2012. We were SO pleased they came back 27 years later in 2009 and sold out Friars yet again.

It was no surprise that the Hanx album was recorded at Friars given how much they felt about the place.

The Flying Padovanis disbanded in 1986 and reformed in 2007
