Is Roger turning up as well too much to dream of? I'd love to see Wilko join Quo for Bye Bye Johnny as they both close with it normally. Really looking forward to this one!

Album is apparently at No.2 in the charts. Battling it out to get past Sam Bailey to No.1.
The album was recorded in Uckfield, and Roger Daltrey's royalties from the album are going to the Teenage cancer Trust.

What did you think? I think it was just about as perfect a gig as I can recall.

After reading a little of this thread I watched a clip of Wilko talking last year then a video of Keep it to Yourself. What a great attitude to a terminal diagnosis. I've only listened to the single, but it's got a real energy. Surely Daltrey is singing in a style appropriate to the music? His voice is bound to show a little strain at times, but the whole venture reminds me of Mick Green and Johnny Kidd and the Pirates. Hope the gig lived up the anticipation.

As a public service, thought you may like to see this if you haven't already - would seem to be a better use of 90' than yesterday was.
"Please Crawl Out Your Window" - how good is that?
Daltrey - 70 earlier this month and I still wouldn't want to annoy him.
Drummer - Worthy contender for the "Max Weinberg making lots of noise with a small kit" trophy.
Wilko - what a way to bow out.
Harp/keys/bass - real music!
All of them - older than me !

What a night! Quo really rocked and what a great set! Wilko was fantastic and wasn't the reception he got amazing? It's pretty rare for a support band to get a standing ovation like that.
I had a ticket but I've been laid up ill for the last week and couldn't make it. How gutted am I?

So sorry to hear that. It wont help but Wilko was superb and Norman Watt-Roy is just a fabulous bass player. The atmosphere for Quo was like that at a really good match - loud, lots of singing, everyone on their feet. I tried to get another ticket for last night but couldn't :-(

Unlucky mate, I feel for you. You missed something a bit special. I've just ordered the CD made on the night, should be a cracking souvenir.

It was a joy to be woken up by the new single blasting out from Radio 2 at 0635 this morning. Look forward to it getting some heavy rotation on Heart

I love it. It makes sense. Two old boys playing music suitable for old boys to sing. And boy do they do it well!

Went to see Paolo Nutini at the Albert Hall a while back in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust and they both turned up as surprised guests and played a set. Made my night.
