QUO: BEGINNING OF THE END

NATIONWIDE GIG GUIDE

AMAZING! The gig circuit has gone berserk this week, with nearly twice as many dates as the law of averages suggest there should be. We're now entering what's normally a fairly quiet period, in terms of major tours, and yet we've aspired to around 700 gigs - a total usually achieved only a couples of times a year, and invariably in the pre-Christmas season. Still, the more the merrier, as far as we are concerned - though it's a trifle sad that we're mentioning STATUS the time in this Gig Guide chit-chat, as they begin their "End Ot The Road" tour with shows at Birmingham (Friday to Sunday), Ipswich (Monday and Tuesday) and Manchester (Wednesday).
