Francis Rossi - 'I Talk Too Much' Spoken Word Tour Cancellation of Dates June 29 to July 18. Francis Rossi and A Way With Media regret to announce the forced cancellation of the first dates that had been rescheduled for the Francis Rossi Talk tour 2021. The dates affected are between June 29 and July 18 [Margate – Stockport] and these are now cancelled, with refunds available with immediate effect. This is entirely due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, which bar theatres from operating without social distancing. Despite three reschedules and despite extensive efforts and goodwill on behalf of all parties - the venues themselves, the promoters, Francis Rossi and his team - it is not possible to reschedule these again. Francis Rossi said, “Of course I am extremely disappointed to have to cancel these dates but there really is no other course of action open at present. I am sure that the fans will understand and I look forward to getting on the road for the remaining dates”. Venues are extremely congested up to 2022, with reschedules from 2020 and 2021 into over-crowded calendars. There is insufficient availability to make a further rescheduling possible. Please contact your local venues to receive your refund. Please note: The rest of the tour from the show on 19 July in Wolverhampton through until the last night in Winchester in 5 September are unaffected and will continue as planned. The show at Stamford Corn Exchange (June 30th) has been re-scheduled to Sept 1st.

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. Christie Goodwin - Pictures That Rock: www.christiegoodwin.com Quo at the Albert Hall Christie was at London's Royal Albert Hall in 2015 when Quo did their first Aquostic show there. Prints of some of her wonderful shots are available to purchase at the RAH web site now. The RAH Shop: : shop.royalalberthall.com

BACKBONE - The Studio Album Quo's 33rd studio album ‘Backbone’ is avaiable through earMUSIC / Edel in a variety of formats. The LP is the band's 33rd 33rpm! The eleven track album was recorded at Francis' studio in the late months of 2018. The sessions were initially just to keep the juices flowing, improvise and have fun. As the hours rolled on, songs stacked up, everyone began to believe that something special was happening. And so it proved. Even from within the group, there had been some resistance to creating a new record. As Francis says, "This new material had to be seriously good. Quo have achieved so much and meant so much to too many people for the quality to slip now. Also, let’s face it, things have changed and we’re an easier target than ever.

Twin Live Releases! Available now - a pair of ‘twin’ live albums, ‘Down Down & Dignified At The Royal Albert Hall’ and ‘Down Down & Dirty At Wacken’ through earMUSIC. Quo's line-up for both these shows features Francis Rossi, Andy Bown, John ‘Rhino’ Edwards, Leon Cave and Richie Malone. The Albert Hall show, featuring an aquostic set with a number of additional musicians, are available on CD and Vinyl only - whilst the Wacken show, an exciting electric set recorded and filmed at one of Germany's biggest rock and metal festivals, is available on CD+DVD and Vinyl. Order Down Down & Dignified At The Royal Albert Hall here: statusquo-downdown.lnk.to/dignifiedPR Order Down Down & Dirty At Wacken here: statusquo-downdown.lnk.to/dirtyPR Order both albums and T-shirts/Posters here: https://statusquo.tmstor.es/
