One of the favourite venues for Osibisa in the early 70's was Friars Aylesbury.
The vibes was so great and lots of fun to perform to wonderful live music lovers.

I remember at one summer gig at Friars the place was jamming hot and the band
was in one of their cosmic heights that resulted in some of the fans took their clothes off and danced naked. That was the magic of Osibisa and Friars.
Will always remember this.

Went on to have hit singles in the 1970s and continued to tour, playing Friars twice in 1978. In the 1980s, Osibisa concentrated their efforts on promoting younger artistes in Ghana and occasionally reformed. Osisbisa still play today headed up by Osei and Anmarfio. Darko Adams died in 1995 and Tontoh died in 2010

Frankie Miller    

               Went on to considerable solo success and played Friars twice under his own name. Robin Trower had considerable solo success as well.
