Rossi's set to Quo it alone

STATUS Quo lead singer Francis Rossi is to play the Queens' Hall on 12 May as part of his One Step at a Time tour.

It is the first solo tour for the singer, now in his 60s.

He and his eight-piece band will perform Quo hits as well as solo material from the past 20 years.

He said: "I never stop writing songs and melodies, but there have been many tracks over the years that just weren't right for Quo. These songs have been gathering dust in my mind for too long and now seems the right time to showcase them."
