I've heard of this lot and gave consideration to going to see them. I think they were playing in Inverness because I did a rekkie for hotels near the venue. They had Matt Letley on drums, at least for the gigs that I saw advertised. Just never got round to it in the end. I'll be honest, Quo is Quo to me, whether it's 70's material or something more recent. If I like it, I like it (no don't go there  ). So I'd certainly give anyone a try. I'd be more inclined to watch a tribute act that played some material Quo either don't play or have never played. Otherwise, I don't really see the point while there is a Status Quo still on the go and who will be better at it than anyone else. The marketing blurb here is a bit ropey but it's easy to see past all that, the same as we do with official announcements about Quo. Ignore the rhetoric and go straight to what's happening. |

Anyway, I am going to see this tribute band on the 13th of November in my home town of Andover. One of my mates ( he is one of the 4 lads in the ROLD clip from MK EOTR 84 ) bought me a ticket for my birthday. I didnt want to go as I only like FF stuff. But I shall go with an open mind! Enjoy (hopefully!) and let us know how it goes! |

Well, here goes. I went with an open mind and a couple of 'refreshments' inside of me. The venue is all seated with a 230 capacity, I would guess there were 180 present. To be honest I thoroughly enjoyed it. They had the Marshall stacks and an array of guitars, the drone and Caroline kicked it off obvs. So in the first set they played Break The Rules, In My Chair, Forty Five Hundred Times, Rain and a couple more classics, interspersed with Something About.., and a couple more of Quos lesser favoured hits. Second half it was Roll Over Lay Down, Down Down and Paper Plane and The Mystery Medley (actually that could have been in the first half!) Obviously Rockin' and Whatever were rolled out. The crowd were definitely not the sort who would go and see JCQ, but they loved it. A few women got to the front and were head banging. I guess that if tribute bands are still touring and playing decent Quo stuff, it keeps them in the public eye, which is a good thing. Anyway it was good to see a live band playing Quo stuff for the first time in two years for me. Roll on Reading in December when I will see the aforementioned JCQ!

Wow, that's great they played 4500x  Thanks for the review 37 I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've not seen them but sounds like they can put on a good show very similar to current Quo! Like you say, it keeps their music going and in the public eye. I went to see Predatur last week and should have done a review......  |
