About the show
Quo frontman Francis Rossi said:
We're excited to share this unique moment with the Radio 2 listeners
"This show is a complete departure for Quo. We've been delighted with the reception that our new stripped down approach to some of these gems from our catalogue has received. The new arrangements have really let the songs breathe and brought out facets that often we didn't know were there, it's been an amazing process.
We call the new style 'Aquostic' and, in the comfort of the recording studio, we have slipped into this new gear with ease. A big live show takes us well out of our comfort zone however - there's nowhere to hide at the Roundhouse so the pressure is going to be on. We never make it easy for ourselves but we're excited to share this unique moment with the Radio 2 listeners."
