Yes it was the Status Quo last night open air at Newmarket Race Course, and they were fantastic. The 1st half performance was seamless as with a guitar chord they were able to switch from Rick Parfitt singing to Rossi taking over and the next song. The audience was rocking all over the world, no one rolled over and laid down , not even sweet Caroline, and no one was down down just head banging to the guitar crescendos.

True musicians who have stood the test of time and no computerised rhythmic noise what some stupidly class as music today.


Parfitt and I used to drink and sail together on the Thames, though his boat was bigger than mine, as was his consumption, 2 bottles of vodka to my 2 pints of beer, so I usually ended up sailing his boat home. A real lovely fella though.
