Q the Quo Q the Quo is a five-piece tribute to Status Quo, once described as “the greatest rock’n’roll band in the land”. They’re dedicated to bringing the musical magic and energy of the original rock legends to as many people as possible. Playing songs that cover all eras of Status Quo’s extensive back catalogue, Q the Quo is as close as you can get to the real Quo performance and sound. Even though it’s over fifty years since they rose to fame with their first hit, Status Quo’s music is as recognisable as ever. Fans will never forget the powerful riffs played by the late, great Rick Parfitt, the amazing solo work of Francis Rossi and the unforgettable sing-along melodies and harmonies that have made the band a world class act over the past five decades. They’ve had more Top 40 UK singles than any other band or artist and even people who aren’t Quo fans will know more of their songs than they think: songs such as Rocking All Over The World, Whatever You Want, Down Down, Caroline, What You’re Proposing and In The Army Now. Members of Q the Quo all grew up listening to these songs and get a real kick out of playing a two-and-a-half hour tribute show in front of an always-appreciative audience. The authentic energy reproduced by Q the Quo will have the crowd on its feet and singing out loud in no time. This is a must-see performance! Dates: Sat 24 Booking and More Information
