memories
Colin Bass, in a playful mood on his website (and at our asking) said in 2008:

What a wonderful institution Friars at Aylesbury was. But as far as I can remember - which may not be a great distance - I played there with the Steve Hillage Band. Or did I? You tell me. Or not. Thanks for asking though. I'll search for the site. I'm relieved to hear it's practically official

what happened next
Hillage continued his solo career for a few years and became well known as a record producer in the 1980s for the likes of Simple Minds and It Bites amongst others. Hearing The Orb perform his Rainbow Dome Musick inspired him and partner Miquette to form System 7 where they record and perform still in 2013
