Quo jailhouse rock!
TOP group Status Quo were treated to some REAL jailhouse rock yesterday.
They were the captive audience at a rock show given in jail by four prisoners and an officer.
And afterwards they said: "We've got serious competition here."
Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi were at Pentonville, north London, after being asked by officials to open the music workshop there. Then the heard the inside rockers in action.
Francis said later: "We might be giving the prisoners some equipment - I'll see if I can spare a guitar.
"Music is so therapeutic. The workshop gives them a great outlet."
