    Francis Rossi, the lead guitarist of Status Quo, joined Ken Bruce on Greatest Hits Radio to talk about his upcoming tour, An Evening of Francis Rossi's Songs from the Status Quo Songbook and More.
    Taking listeners on a journey to his Golden Year, Rossi chose a specific week of September 1979, when his favourite tracks topped the charts, including unforgettable hits from music icons like Cliff Richard, Crusaders, Dave Edmunds, ELO, and Gerry Rafferty.

    Always entertaining ... saw him at Tivoli in Aberdeen last time and going again next year ... great, fun, night ... just him, a mate, and his Fender Acoustasonic ... if he comes near you take the opportunity to see him ... national treasure ... legend ... CMcG Aberdeen Scotland.... p.s. Crusaders / Randy Crawford doing Street Life - what a superb tune ...

    Rossi is without doubt the most underated guitarist of his time. On the flip side, he destroyed quo with his " its mjne " tantrums. Alan lancaster was thed origional member, as was Francis until parfitt cames along. Dont get me wrong, i love Rick. But as soon as Alan left, right on the backend of John Couglan getting the sack, quo knly ever managed 1 platinum album mjnus lancaxter.
    Up till then, every album released went platinum. Go givure.
    Like a say, i know francis is the most underated guirarist of his time. . Probably the best album ever from quo was live from the Appoli , Glasgow.😊
