Paul Carr
Lead Guitar
Rhythm Guitar/Vocals
Paul Carr: Will the real Rick Parfitt please stand up! The white Telecaster, the Marshall stack, the blonde barnet, legs apart and here we go. From the opening chord it's plain to see the similarities. Rick is Paul's idol and after seeing QUO Live! nearly 150 times, he knows exactly what's needed in a performance. "A lot of hard-work, but it's been well worth it" says Paul in a recent interview. "We have had a great couple of years and played some huge gigs but I personally think there is more to come". Ambition? "Yes! Support band for QUO".
Ian Hill
Lead Guitar/Vocals
Ian Hill: Hilly's association with SOQ goes back to 1996 when Tony Lingard, the band's Bass player at the time, introduced him to Paul Carr. Paul and Tony invited Hilly to join the band, and although the 3 did play one gig together at a Quo Fan Convention in Hull, with a very early incarnation of State of Quo, the offer to join full-time was declined. However, a short time later, Hilly introduced Paul and Tony to his great friend and ex-Red Sky bandmate - drummer Dave Owen. Dave hit it off with Paul, Tony and the rest of the band and was immediately recruited as SOQ's new drummer - the position he has held ever since. Events came full circle in July 2010 when, having received another invitation, Hilly finally joined SOQ, to be reunited with his old drumming buddy Dave!.
Dave Owen
Drums
Dave Owen: Dave is tailor-made for State of Quo. When the guys met up for the first time in the studios, he rocked his way through three hours of Quo stuff without once making a mistake. Dave certainly knows his Quo and never lets up from start to finish. "This band is a dream come true for me and long may we rock", he says. Ambition? "I suppose I've already fulfilled one by joining these lads but hey!...Support band for Quo"
Graham Peters
Bass/Vocals
Graham Peters: A life long QUO fan, Graham fits into the band like a glove and with his Mustang Bass, has got that authentic Lancaster sound. Rocks from start to finish and puts 100 % into every gig. Joined first the band in May 2000 after waiting for his dream of being in a 'Quo' band, and is now back after a couple of years brake.
