Well , it was my first time and it didn't disappoint . Bizarrely though for this sleepy quiet Yorkshire rural market town ( its pronounced Massem John) there was a beer and music festival at The White Bear and the Mighty JCQ Live in The Town Hall all on the same night. I got there early to avoid the rush!  |

So an absolute top night and gig. How do you beat it? Probably by doing this!  You probably all know this already but Rick Parfitt Jnr will be playing with them at Minehead , whilst Nuff is coming over to sing. Stayed in the same hotel and fair play to John, he came across in the morning to have a chat with my wife and me as were packing our stuff.Top bloke , top band and if you haven't had chance to see them yet , get yersens down and enjoy them whilst you can ! |

Ok, A plea here folks... Does anybody on here ever record a JCQ gig?? I'm in Ireland and I'm probably never going to get to one of his gigs  and it's a shame 'cos [to me] JC is the only drummer who makes Quo sound like Real Quo [but kudos to PK and MattL too] So, can someone please bring a recorder to JCQ - and [ideally] to Minehead. THANKS!! G [Oh and btw - share the results on here too!!  ] |

Spud said yeah, he thinks Francis is missing a trick there! Not sure if he meant by not playing some of the old ones, or in John's words because they have a real groove ..or a bit of both maybe.. |

Talking to Mick after the show they decide whether it's a Roadhouse Blues or a Rockin All Over crowd early doors. Sadly we were a Rockin' venue. Too many Sat at tables. Rick welcomed us to the whist and bingo night!
Wish I had recorded at least one song Gerh, but enjoying it too much to get the camara out. Maybe next time. Going to try and get up to Darlington.

Cracking stuff! This is the 5th JCQ line-up I've seen & I always really enjoy the gig.

The JCQ gig at the Half Moon in Putney, April 2018 recorded for a live CD, but I don't know what happened to it.

Gaz No he doesn’t play golf (so I’ve been told!) He probably doesn’t have the calm temperament needed to play golf 😬 I’ve heard he can blow up a bit, now n then, and his golf clubs would probably end up at the bottom of a lake somewhere on the course...😂 |

When I went to the merch store, first thing the lady said , was that there was no CD's left. So don't know if that was it maybe? Didn't ask, so would need to know if anyone has got one before? Squeezed into a Medium out of nostalgia, but the wife said no , Large it was! Nice tee, don't normally do the merch. |

Sounds kinda good guys... but for all of you lucky enough to get to see JCQ [now every bit as valid a 'Quo' as FR's one, Imho] please consider this a standing wish to record a show and stick it up here for those of us not in UK!]
PS - wonder if Quoincidence knows anything about the cd? Huh, Luke? |
