I think Francis is/was a fan. Remember a nod & a finger point & mouthed “ good band “( yeah, sad, i know ) down the front one time for my NBZ t-shirt |

Haven't heard of Nine Below Zero in years! Didn't realise they were still on the go. Got a couple of old singles of theirs from way back in the early 80's. Great band. Or they used to be. They'll shake things up a bit  |

Nine Below Zero still one of the best live bands I’ve seen,a top night of storming R&B.
Live at the Marquee one of the best live albums ever IMO
Cheers

Would go to this but its feckin miles from where i live I know how you feel. 444 miles from me apparently. Travel used to be no object when I was young and enthusiastic. Now that I'm old an unenthusiastic, its a pain in the ar$e |

Dad and I caved... We know what Francis is like but considering the lack of Quo gigs near my gaff, the FOMO was too much. We'll be in Taunton to see the boys. Hopefully not for the last time. Dad will be pleased about Nine Below Zero too!

They supported Quo at Greenwich and brought the best out of Quo, they had Glenn Tilbrook on stage as well and finished the show with a rousing Caroline riff that really got the audience going. It's going to be a great show.A generous support band who really paved the way for the headline act. It was actually the best Quo gig I saw since Lancaster left.
Have a look at the Bass players CV.

Mmm, 10637 miles for me apparently  Pleased to say a friend nearby has decided to make the last-minute trip over for the Taunton gig, though - amazing effort, good on ya Gary! |

Dad will be pleased about Nine Below Zero too! You'll enjoy it mate! The last time I had seen them was at the Empress Ballroom, Blackpool, in April 2016. Now looking back, I see 2017—2024 as wasted years that I could've been seeing them, but instead I was insistent on not seeing them without Rick. I wasn't part of the "No Rick, No Quo" group; I just didn't see it as worth seeing them again, especially with them not changing the setlist at all (pretty much). Seeing them last Friday in Liverpool was incredible. The venue was weird, but the sound was great, the atmosphere was great, the weather was perfect, and I couldn't have asked for a better night. |

I saw them in Guildford 2022 (caught Covid or Quovid as I call it, bit awkward with a one month old baby at the time and the wife didn't want me going to a gig so close to baby's original due date but thats another story...) and then again in Bournemouth that same year on the winter tour. Loved both gigs. I think the break I'd had of about 3 years or so freshened things up for me.
I am sticking with Frame and the boys until the very end, its the least I can do after all the joy I've had from following the band. I think Francis lives on a completely different planet most of the time, but he's always been my true guitar hero. This will be my 38th Quo gig. If it is the end of the road, it's been 25 years for me.
"If you're tired and weary, still journey on, 'Til you come to your happy abode, Where all your love and your dreaming of, Will be there at the end of the road"

I happily stayed on the Quo train. Took in the Scarborough and Halifax gigs this time round and so glad I did.
