Quo Connection is a name you might not be familiar with, though this band is making a huge impact on the live scene. Let me take you through a potted history of this incredible tribute to Status Quo.
A band called John Coghlan’s Quo (JCQ) featuring Status Quo’s original drummer, was in existence for 25 years with various line-ups. This came to an end in 2022, as John Coghlan took a step back from touring. The remaining band members, Mick Hughes, Pete Mace and Rick Chase were faced with the decision of whether to carry on as a band or pursue other musical projects.
Fortunately, they decided to continue as a tribute band to Classic Status Quo under the new name of Quo Connection. The name has real meaning, as they have previously worked with other members of Status Quo. This includes of course John Coghlan, the late Alan Lancaster (original Quo bassist), Richie Malone (ex-Quo guitarist), Bob Young (ex-Quo tour manager & blues harp) & Jeff Rich (ex-Quo drummer).
