'Piledriver' was called 'Piledriver' in Australia Francis, and it peaked at #15 on the Charts. My cousin, Greg (RIP) had a copy of it. One day we were visiting at his house and I saw the album. I couldn't believe it was the same Band that did 'Matchstickmen' Totally different sound and they looked very different. QUO went from being a Caterpillar to being a majestic Butterfly. 'Down the Dustpipe' from 1970 is still one of my favourite songs of all time. Recording and releasing it as a Single was a stroke of genius, by all concerned. Plus, 'In My Chair' in 1970, were both non-album Singles that kept the Band 'afloat' and in the Public's eye and ears long enough until 'Piledriver' exploded QUO into the Mainstream. Another non-album song that QUO released was 'Tune to the Music' in 1971. I feel that it is one of their better tunes and one of Francis' best vocal deliveries. It's still a mystery why it wasn't a Hit song. Probably didn't get any radio airplay. Show business is all about 'publicity and promotion' Always remember their best Drummer John Coghlan and Bass player/ vocalist Alan Lancaster (RIP)
We have interviews with John just search our page, some with Alan coming up too, all rescued from a video server that was due to be reformatted and all content wiped...just spotted in time!
Yes. Driver not river. I don’t know where he got that from. What was the question again? I think he’s struggling with his memory a bit. Poor Francis 😂.
"What was the question again?"
Hilarious.
