The webmaster, north Bucks:
"I cannot admit to being
Camel's hugest fan, simply because I had not heard much of their
stuff to make a judgment, but knew they were popular, especially in
Aylesbury. Someone lent me the Nude album upon which this tour was
based and fell in love with "City Life" from the album, so that was
it, I went! They were pretty good, but one of the strangest things
for me was the audience sitting on the floor for support act, Dave
Evans, a singer songwriter guitarist. I had never seen this before,
nor have I seen it since
Colin Bass, in a playful
mood on his website (and at our asking after we pointed out (as well as
playing with Steve Hillage) he DID play with Camel in 1979/1981!)
What
a wonderful institution Friars at Aylesbury was. I believe that Camel
played there several times but I wasn't there, it all being before my time
Well
that's very interesting and proof, if any were needed, that my memory is
not what it used to be, if indeed it ever was. As my uncle said, we will
never forget the day we lost our memory. But if it was in October 79 then
I was indeed there and if I could remember it, it would be as a wonderful
occasion.
Now, just help me out a little here, Aylesbury is just north of Scunthorpe,
right?" |
