UPDATE
John Coghlan´s ATOMIC BOOGIE
Some photo's from the recent "Atomic Boogie" Swedish tour with Clas Yngstrom are now available HERE.
September '08 saw the unveiling of a brand new show entitled "An Audience with John Coghlan" celebrating a very long and successful career of Quo's original drummer. The first show was held at The West End Centre in Aldershot, Hampshire.
The evening will commence with John talking candidly about his career as a drummer and his time with Quo. A personal question/answer session will also be included to conclude the first part of the evening.
A short interval will be followed by a live performance of selected songs from John's time with Status Quo where John will be joined on stage by Baz, Mick and Pete from Predatür.
The songs have been carefully chosen to include a few tunes that will be familiar, have not been heard for many years or even played by the original Quo. It promises to be a very entertaining evening that no true John Coghlan fan, Quo fan or fellow Drummer should miss. A very special item of historic Quo memorabilia will also be on display.
Full details of forthcoming events can be found on the gig page.
Aussie Rock Celebration: Unveiling the Bon Scott Statue - 24 Feb 2008
On the 24th February, John met up with fellow former Status Quo band mate, bassist Alan Lancaster for the "Unveiling the Bon Scott Statue" concert in Claremont, Western Australia.
To quote John and Gillie:
"The Concert was amazing - the crowd was fabulous, the Aussie bands were terrific, and it was just incredible for John and Al to play together again - they would love to take this all over Oz...."
A DVD will be released featuring Alan Lancaster and John Coghlans performances with The Party Boys in the Aussie Rock Celebration Concert which was held on 24 February 2008. The DVD will be autographed by John and Alan and a bonus CD featuring live recordings from the Bombers in which both John and Alan played will be included as a bonus together with the DVD of the 4 songs Alan and John performed with The Party Boys at the Aussie Rock Concert. Pre-orders will be available soon!!
