memories
Phillip Goodhand-Tait:  'It was October (30th) before I was to play again at Aylesbury and by then the venue was known simply as "Friars". I shared the bill this time with a band called "Stone Ground". My former musicians had left to form Camel and I'd recruited a new "semi-acoustic" line-up with Chas Cronk and Ernie Hayes from the Strawbs playing bass and guitar respectively. The audience was one of the most attentive I played to in England. It was then the time of the "singer/songwriter" and I remember chatting to the audience as if it were my front living room, then playing a slow version of Buddy Holly's "Everyday" which went down  a storm. The "Friars" audience were knowledgeable and very appreciative. It was a pleasure playing for them. I'm not sure whether Dave (Stopps) paid me more money that time though!'
