And it was at The Adelphi in Hull to see JCQ!
Now if you have never been to The Adelphi, it's a no frills music venue. If you want luxury and class this is the wrong place for you. If you want atmosphere down and dirty old school style your in the right place.
Ideal venue for a no nonsense throwback gig. Nigh on capacity crowd gathered to hear Spuds Aye Up ! Ok not quite alright , aaaalllriiiggght but aye up aaaaaayyyeee Uppp!
So with Spud on bongo's and Russ on drums / harp we were treated to part 1 .
It was a throwback set, with huge changes since I last saw them, Aye uppp! we were off and running.
Down the Dustpipe , Spinning Wheel Blues, Lacky Lady, Gerdundula, Railroad (parts 1 and 2) Most of the Time and Nanana to name but a few, before we got a shout out in memory of Rick and Alan and a heart rendering version of A Year for Nuff.
A few more Abbeydale Moonshine down me and ready for part 2. One of my fave ales and bands what's not to like?
Part 2 started with Russ on drums and a cracking version of No Return with Rick confirming they were still working on the album. Lockdown soon followed.
Volume was turned up as classic Quo was belted out . Little Lady , Paper Plane , Roll over Lay Down, Dont Waste my Time ,Down Down , Rockers Rollin, it was getting hot and sweaty . More Moonshine and we were into Again and Again. Spud rejoined the stage to a hero's welcome. A bit of Dont Drive My Car and Matchstick Men before the encore.
No idea what order the above were played in , but what a cracking gig.
Roll on Feb and my next one, The Warehouse in Leeds.
