Status Quo Tribute Act. Live Bands and Wedding Entertainment in the London and UK-Wide Singers, Duos and Tribute Acts for hire.

How many times do you hear "STATUS QUO? Great band, but I think the 70s were the best"?

 

Well if you have the same thoughts then perhaps you'd better check out a Counterfeit Quo gig. Not only do you get the great QUO songs of the 70's, but the whole, totally live rock and roll show, at a volume not heard since The Rainbow Theatre 1972.

           

 

An adrenaline charged set sees the band crash their way through Quo's best known hits including Caroline, Down Down, Whatever You Want and Rocking All Over The World whilst still paying tribute to  glorious earlier albums like Ma Kellys', Dog of Two Head, Piledriver, Hello, 'Quo' etc.

 

Any temptation to 'lighten up' has been firmly resisted. What you get is Heads Down, No-Nonsense Boogie played on the familiar beaten up green and white Telecasters by the denim clad true likenesses of the original Quo members with wall to wall Marshall amps, buckets of sweat and more hair than you can shake a stick at.

 

Originally named Piledriver, Counterfeit Quo formed in Essex in early 1995 by four hardened Quo fans who quickly set out to recreate the dynamic, energetic live Quo performances of old. The bands reputation spread quickly and they have now toured every nook and cranny of the U.K., ventured into Europe and featured on local and national BBC Radio.

 

           

Over the past year the band have had the pleasure of working with original Quo drummer John Coghlan, either as part of his own band,  John Coghlan's Quo,  or with John appearing as a special guest on Counterfeit Quo gigs.

 

They have also been given the seal of approval from no less than Quo's very own Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt.
