Experience a unique musical fusion as John Coghlan’s Quo Reimagined takes the stage at The Stables in Milton Keynes on Saturday, 8 March 2025, at 8:45 PM. This innovative project brings a fresh acoustic twist to the classic hits of Status Quo, blending elements of swing jazz and classical music for a distinctive sound that both honors and reinvents the originals.

About the Project:

Conceived in early 2023 by bassist Paul Jefferies and pianist Alex Steele, the idea emerged after an inspiring meeting with original Status Quo drummer John Coghlan. With John’s enthusiastic endorsement, the duo sought to craft a sound divergent from the iconic electric guitars of Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt. They enlisted world-class violinist and vocalist Ben Holder, whose contributions of violin and vocals added depth and versatility to the ensemble. Completing the lineup with Alex’s acoustic piano and Paul’s double bass, the group reimagines Status Quo’s melodies, infusing them with jazz and classical nuances while preserving their core essence.

What to Expect:

• Innovative Arrangements: Familiar Status Quo tracks are transformed through acoustic interpretations, featuring violin, piano, double bass, and drums.

• Genre-Blending Performance: The concert seamlessly merges rock, swing jazz, and classical elements, offering a fresh perspective on beloved classics.

• Live Vocals and Instrumentation: With Ben Holder’s dynamic vocals and the ensemble’s skilled musicianship, audiences can anticipate a vibrant and engaging live experience.
