Quofest was top-notch ( last night at Birmingham)
Opening act was Eddie and the Hot Rods - lively, fast-paced and entertaining.
Then Bonnie. Setlist ( if my memory serves me corectly):
It's A Heartache
To Love Somebody
Lost in France
The Best
Turtles Blues
Total Eclipse
Faster than the Speed of Night
Holding out for a Hero
Opening half seemed gentle compared to Eddie's Hot Rods, but really came alive with Turtle Blues and then Jimmy Boy's trilogy was outstanding. A pal of mine who wasn't Bonnie savvy thought she was losing her voice. I had to explain the raspiness was normal! She can still belt out the songs, but with such a short set she could have cut out the chit chat between EVERY song and then played an extra song, possibly Rebel Without A Clue!
Then we had the Quo. My memories of seeing them at Wembley a few years back aren't exceptional, but last night I thought they were terrific. For a band that can play the same song for 2 hrs they did a pretty damn good job.
All the classics and all the fun.
