Andy Ellison, Radio Stars:
I
do remember the gig very well, and the venue being one of the best on
the circuit, in the late 70's. Played there with EDDIE AND THE HOT RODS
and SQUEEZE, and then in our own right, on the first night of the RADIO
STARS never ending holiday tour, that went on for about 9 months,
starting at FRIARS, AYLESBURY, where we took a coach load of jouranlists
to the venue with a conjurer on board, and topless girls serving drinks,
i don't remember much about what happened later that night, but all i
remember it was a great gig, and i've got great memories of your venue,
Happily I'm still alive, and Radio Stars are up and running and
could play there again if you want. We recently played The Forum,
London.

Many
congratulations on your 40th anniversary. Growing up through the late
70's Friars was a venue that my favourite band Radio Stars played on
numerous occasions. Thanks to singer Andy Ellison they had some wild
nights there !! It is a venue that I will always remember. Check out the
