Quo - Pictures That Rock - 2005 - 2020
Official Quo photographer Christie Goodwin has taken many hundreds of shots of Quo live, for album covers and behind the scenes. Her first shoot was in Ruinerwold in The Netherlands on May 28th 2005, so it's Christie's 15th Quo Anniversary! To mark this occasion Christie and her manager Patrick Cusse have put together this fantastic slideshow of some of her great shots taken between between 2005 to 2020. As Quo's manager Simon Porter said on seeing the slideshow - 'Blimey, that brings back some memories!' Music is taken from the 'Just Doin' It' Live - DVD - 2013.

Status Quotes!
As we are all in lockdown with Francis' tour postponed and in a period with no live Quo, this is a good time to read 'Status Quotes!'
In 1983 Quo documentary and video director John Keeling put his trusty typewriter to work and compiled a book manuscript in the 'In Their Own Words' style. The book was never published but John has kindly made it available now for Quo fans to enjoy, it's a 36 page PDF - and very amusing too! Read it here: : johnkeelingmedia.blog |

Rossi/Rickard - 'We Talk Too Much' - album out now!
'We Talk Too Much' is the title of the album by Francis Rossi and Hannah Rickard – the pair met when Hannah worked with Status Quo on the hugely successful 'Aquostic' projects. Reconnecting with one of Rossi's true loves, this is a collection of Country-flavoured duets and is available now via earMUSIC. Featuring all brand-new material, and boasting writing credits for Rossi and Rickard as well as Quo stalwart Bob Young, this album has been a true labour of love. www.francisrossi.com  |
The Book - I Talk Too Much
The new autobiography, 'I Talk Too Much', is published by Little, Brown. This gripping brand-new book has been created in conjunction with award-winning writer and broadcaster Mick Wall, who has sold more than 1 million books. In this explosive new memoir, the famously indiscreet Rossi reveals the true-life stories behind his unbelievable career. Painfully honest at times, the book covers the glory years, the dark days, the ups and downs of his relationship with the late Rick Parfitt and the real stories behind the creation of some of the greatest rock music of all time. www.francisrossi.com
