I’ve seen Quo a lot too. we used to get in for free as my Daughters partner was good friends with their technical man, so any local to us concerts & we were there. We sat or stood, depending on the venue, with the sound & lighting people & usually had a very good view of the stage.

So sad to hear of another band member gone.
RIP Alan Lancaster.

Only 72 too … another twang-man gone to the big gig in the sky. I’m 78 so I’m feeling a somewhat old ‘twanger’ now😥
