Status Quo at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ

The original Frantic Four - Rossi, Lancaster, Coghlan and Parfitt, from psychedelia to jeans and 12 bar blues to Acoustic, in Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ interviews over their long and successful career.

The original Frantic Four – Francis Rossi, the late Alan Lancaster, John Coghlan and the late Rick Parfitt - take us on a journey from psychedelia through denim jeans and 12 bar blues to Acoustic albums and tours in many Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ interviews over their long and successful career.

As we celebrate Francis’s 75th birthday, we will discover why Caroline is the perfect opener and which radio DJ compared their music to a Coronation anthem. Rick will also reveal which member of the Royal Family has a Quo album in their office and how much fun they had opening Live Aid to the world at Wembley Stadium.

Tommy Vance, Johnnie Walker, John Peel, Bob Kilby, Richard Skinner, Phill Jupitus, Ella Kenion, Jo Brand, Mark Lamarr, Jo Whiley, Richard Allinson, Richard Madeley, Sophie Raworth, David Sillito and Nicky Campbell are amongst the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ voices featuring in our archive and we will hear the inside track on classic hits like Down Down, In The Army Now and Living On An Island.
