    The sound wasn't great, the screens were awful and the beer was extortionate. Yes you expect to pay more at a gig like this but the mark up was sheer robbery.

  • A guest 80% for Status Quo · Fri, 24 Apr 2015

    Although I've never professed to being a quo fan, their gig was fantastic.

    It's no fluke that a band that's been together for fifty years can suddenly reinvent their music so well and not lose their identity.

    Really enjoyed the concert, great acoustics in the guildhall helped and created a fantastic intimate feeling.

    If you've never seen them, then do so!!
