I see someone's set up official Facebook and Instagram pages for Francis:
Looks like it's primarily to punt his 2023 acoustic tour for now, but both also have some photos/video of him recording with Andy Brooks for the Lee O'Brien album he's been working on.

Enjoying Frames clips on Instagram, his train trip in to London and in his home studio with Rhino. Surprised with lack of comments on this topic

Alas, it will have to pass me by. This message board is pretty much the only small concession to social media that I do. I've seen Mrs Mortified having a quick glance on The Book of Faeces and there's some right bollox on there; whether you want it or not. And she does have a tendency (as does the stepdaughter) of wanting to show you videos that keep appearing in her timeline (I think it's called). So I've had to endure - with a smile and a nodding comment, obviously - "funny" videos of pets and people falling into, over and across things. It's like Jeremy Beadle without the off button But, as you can see, I'm a grumpy old ba$tard so no one wants me on there anyway May Francis get loads of hits as he shares his mundane existence

Thanks for the comments; made me curious. And I had a look. I love the ones with grandchildren. Very touching. And feeding the pigeon too.

There's been some activity on Facebook, either on Francis' page or Quo's official page, can't remember which, relating to Francis, Rhino, and Richie recording "TV tracks". No light shed on the details, so who knows.
But somebody over on Instagram seems to know something about a related topic (social media good for something!). He says, over a few replies to a post about this very topic:
"I know FR, RP, AB and JRE have all composed library music tracks for TV and film sync. Could be that maybe?"
"Most of these tracks are held by the libraries themselves and bear little to no resemblance to the Quo ‘sound’. I’ve heard some of RP’s - quite early 2000s sounding rock/pop!"
"One was called ‘Gasoline’ and one was called ‘Building it Back Up Again’. Try the Chappell Recorded Music Library!"
Anyone aware of this/these?

I see he has a new Avatar with a #GOMOR on his Facebook and Instagram sites, and yes they have been recording TV tracks whatever that means
