Tour Notes: "The Coast to Coast" Australien tour 2019 with TMG and Taste has been cancelled in january 2019. John wrote on Facebook: "We are extremely disappointed to announce that the Australian tour has been cancelled, as it is not now viable due to circumstances beyond our control. We are so sorry to let down all those of you who have already booked tickets, and thank Ron, the promoter, for all his efforts to rectify this situation. ALL UK & European gigs WILL be going ahead."  Only a couple of days before John wrote these lines, Rick Abbs left the band for personal reasons.

Tour Notes: *June 22,2021

It is with great excitement that we can announce a new format to the John Coghlan’s Quo live show which is to premiere at The Stables in Milton Keynes on Saturday 26th June.
After a long and brilliant career, the lengthy hiatus of lockdown, along with the fact that he is approaching 75, and an ongoing hand complaint have all made it harder for John to perform the currently required two shows a day (due to distancing). Therefore he has enlisted long-term friend and drummer, Russ Chadd, to step in on the more demanding songs before arriving to play various percussion throughout the centrepiece of the show, an entirely new acoustic segment featuring some of the Quo 'classics' and lesser known songs. John will of course return to 'The Kit' to close the show with a finale that includes some of John’s most favourite Quo songs.
Not only did the Covid situation give John and his band the opportunity to re-invent their performance, they also achieved a hit single in the UK charts. Following this success, John felt that he would like to introduce some new elements to the performance, giving the fans a whole new show.

JOHN COGHLAN'S QUO RE-IMAGINED

Bandmembers: John Coghlan (dr), Alex Steele (keys), Paul Jefferies (b), Ben Holder (vocals, violin)

John Coghlan's Quo had been in existence for 25 years in various forms, and their final gig with John Coghlan on the 24th of September 2022

was quite aptly played at Butlin's in Minehead where the QUO story first began. John is now concentrating with his new project with other musicians.

Mick Hughes, Rick Chase, Pete Mace and Russ Chadd have reformed under the name QUO CONNECTION in order to begin the next chapter carrying

the legacy of Status Quo and John Coghlan.
