Mike was approached by an art teacher from The Cottesloe School in Wing, where some of the students, as part of their GCSE course, wanted to create some artwork with Friars Music Club as the inspiration. As a result of his help and assistance the amazing art work produced by the students was first displayed at the final Friars gig in the Civic Centre and was then turned into an art installation in the Friars Square Shopping Centre in Aylesbury.
Mike name checked at the bottom!!
The artwork is brilliant and Mike was thrilled to have been able to play his minor role in putting people in touch with one another and supporting the project as and when he was asked to assist. The students were, quite rightly, very proud of their achievements - and I am looking forward to seeing the larger version although Mike was presented with a framed copy of the design which has now joined a lot of other music memorabilia which adorns our staircase and looks perfectly in place and totally awesome.

Here are some photos from the unveiling of the artwork by David Stopps, founder of Aylesbury Friars. More information on this story can be found on Mike Aylesbury Friars website by clicking here. One game you may like to play is working out which famous Friars bands past and present are featured in the design, a particular favourite of mine is Gary Numan and of course Freddie, although the Ian Hunter and Siouxie are particularly good. The whole story even made the BBC news and Bucks TV were there to cover it too check it all out on Mike's Friars site.
