odds and trivia

what happened?

Pretty Things have continued on one form or another to record music. May and Taylor recorded with Jim McCarty (of Renaissance/Illusion) in the 1990s. Their last album was released in 2007. Brian Pendleton died in 2001.

The Pretty Things "re-opened" Friars Aylesbury for the 40th anniversary gig in June 2009. It was an amazing night

A stalwart of the Aylesbury music scene. Barrett still plays today and is most famous for his long association with Aylesbury legend John Otway and made the top 30 and TOTP in 1977 with Cor Baby That's Really Free

Lol Coxhill continued his long and varied career until his death in 2012 and was featured in the Friars Exhibition in 2014
