The Status Quo "PICTURES" Auction
On the 5th November to mark the fortieth anniversary of Status Quo's first hit single, "Pictures Of Matchstick Men", and raise money for The Prince’s Trust, a star-studded auction was hosted at Bonhams, London. Paintings by Alice Cooper, Brain May, Rolf Harris and even Sir Steve Redgrave were auctioned off and a stunning total of £112,210 was raised for The Trust!
John and Gillie attended this special event and had an amazing evening. John had some great chats with Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Matt Letley and Bob Young to name but a few and met up with so many old friends. Later they went to the after auction party and had a truly great night.

An Audience With John Coghlan
This September 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. |
