Hi! The Diamond Quo Boogie Day 7 is taking place at The Diamond, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Notts on Saturday February 20th. The bill will be as follows... Mikey and Jimmy Acoustic - A few Quo songs and rock classics stripped back to the bones. Spare Parts - The band make a return trip to The Diamond, performing a great mix of rock covers and classic Quo. Backwater - Top Scottish Quo tribute deliver a heavy, hardcore set of Quo classics. Jackie Lynton - The man who introduced Quo on the legendary 1976 live album performs some rock 'n' roll classics and one or two originals. Stated Quo - A heavy, headbanging set to round off the night, with lots of album tracks and rarities. The event will begin at 2.30 pm, with Stated Quo finishing their set at midnight, though The Diamond will be open till 2am. Food is available all day in a separate seated dining area inside the venue. Prices for the whole day are £18 in advance, £20 on the door. Those who are only able to attend after 8pm can pay £10, while admission for children is half price. Please contact Mikey or the venue for tickets. And if you're looking for accommodation, there's a good Travelodge and Premier Inn close by. Thanks and hope to see you there! Jimmy

Don't start confusing people, Mac - or else some may arrive a day late and it'll all be your fault then.

Mikey of Stated Quo and organiser of the Quo Diamond Day
**Posting on behalf of Mikey**. Mike has suffered from a stroke and is currently at Salford Royal Hospital. He is stable and doing well, and will hopefully be back home in a few days. Luckily it was spotted early and he's now in the best place. This is just to let all his friends know, as he cant access the internet. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish him a speedy recovery, and he vows to be back in 2016 to ROCK YOU ALL !!! Thanks.

I messaged him yesterday and he's on the mend and said the Diamond Day would go ahead and he was very much hoping to be playing his part in it.

Mikey's post on Facebook earlier today referring to The Diamond....
Hopefully we'll be doing this again in 6 weeks time Thanks again everyone for all the messages of support etc. I'm slowly gaining more strength & control in the fingers of my right hand. At the moment I'm managing to play guitar/bass for a few minutes before dropping the plectrum, whereas 3 weeks ago I couldn't even manage 10 seconds. So that's got to be a good sign I think. I have a further, more detailed brain scan next week, because as yet they don't actually know what caused it. Or maybe I'm just a medical mystery enigma

Wow, what a fantastic day that was.......... got to meet all the mates again and also had a chat with the legend that is Jackie Lynton and spoke with all the bands, but that's just me being me).... must say that is up there with the best tribute days I have attended and Backwater from Scotland blew everybody away with what can only be described as an incredible setlist, including a cracking cover of Lonely Man.......

Nice to meet mac and Dale. Yeah a great day. My first at the diamond and it certainly won't be the last !! Enjoyed all the bands. The acoustic set ( ace of spades on the ukulele ! Brilliant ) set the ball rolling. Spare parts were great. Backwater rocked, what a great set. Stated quo rocked too, they're probably my favourite tribute band. And Jackie - was Jackie !! Met some lovely people. All in all, a great day at a great venue !!
