Rip Alan you was an absolute legend and fantastic bass player 😢

Status Quo where not the same when john and Alan left great group at the beginning , nice to here from Alan . Thanks😊

Sir Alan of Lancaster !

Alan you will always be the instigator in the creation of ''the number one rock and roll band in the land".

i really enjoyed that, it was good to just let Alan talk without being cut off & interupted by the interviewer. Quo lost it's soul, or should I say rock when Alan went, he had a sound that added so much to 'the real' Quo. I was introduced to Quo in 1978 age 12 by my 65 year old neighbour (a story in itself) who played me Softer Ride & 45 Hundred Times together with some Deep Purple & Sabbath, my life changed that day & the real Quo has been the soundtrack of my life. Nice one Alan & Good interview :-)

Who gives their time for their fans, this guy who we are listening to, I had a beer in Hamilton New Zealand with Alan lancaster after he played with the Party Boys and all i could say to him after their gig was I'm a big fan of Quo. and he thanked me for that.. Wow. One cool Dude. Cheers. Chook.

I had the pleasure of meeting Alan an absolute gentleman.

In lock down just found this interview... Fantastic interview letting nuff have his say about what really happened behind the scenes with quo. After Alan and John were forced out of quo the band was never the same without the powerhouse behind parfitt and rossi.great to hear an interview where the person is not interrupted 👍👍

Great to hear him. Quo was never the same after 1984, that really was the Final Gig. But it was good to see the reunion shows.

ALAN CHARLES LANCASTER otherwise known as NUFF, has passed away in Sydney, his home for 45 years. The founding member and the backbone of STATUS QUO had been suffering from Multiple Sclerosis for many years. Alan battled on bravely, performing at QUO's Reunion gigs in 2013 and 2014. Even though he had MS, Alan's performance and his vocals were the strongest of the three. My favourite member of QUO is Alan Lancaster. I had the pleasure of having a beer and a smoke with Alan at a Sydney pub gig, in Five Dock, when he had The Lancaster Bombers and The Lancaster/Brewster Bands in the late 80's. We had a longer chat at The Lewisham Hotel as well. These were dirty, grungy hotels, though this didn't phase the great man of the people. Alan was the most beautifil man, very humble, down to earth and a great guy to talk with and have a laugh. Vale Alan ( Nuff ) Lancaster RIP mate, you were one of the greatest Rockers of all time.

He has always been my favorite and after this I know why. Amazing gentle man.

Excellent interview and insight into the reality of life in and after being in a top band like Quo. Great interviewer too, empathetic, asked great questions, and then let Alan answer uninterrupted. Well done.

Brilliant, thank you Alan Charles Lancaster

Rest in peace, Alan. 😪

Road house blues...just take me now...backwater junction 😎👍

I met Alan many times during the Quo years. First time in 1978,in the Wisseloord Studio's, Hilversum, Holland,when Quo recorderd the album "If You Cant Stand The Heat". We made some photo's together,and also we met during Live gigs, backstage,chat many times. Great memories. Great and humble man.

Lovely interview, really good. What a gent he is!

Sound out to the interviewer for letting him talk and not interrupting every 20 seconds! Brilliant.

Shit, man. When the 1st song came on I Duckduck'd Alan Lancaster's Bombers, just to find out he died a couple of days ago. So weird, I was playing the Quo again throughout this week without knowing about this. Anyway, very nice interview with a lovely bloke. Keep rocking, friends ! Enjoy life while it lasts.

R.I.P Alan Lancaster 😥

RIP Alan a truly nice guy

What a brilliant and lovely interview, thank you so much for letting us hear his very personal story of Quo and beyond.

This is well worth listening to Alan is literate and still got his marbles a well presented interview.

Great interview

A great Interview with a great guy. All credit to the person doing the interview she let it flow im not sure her name but is really good 😀

Thanks Nuff, great voice and songs contributed to complete and original classic Quo sound! Stay safe 🤘🏻

Always a soft spot for Quo, was my first concert in '74

I d love to hear his other stuff. It s a shame they dont get money from spotify and things like this

Come on Alan you’re we’re the best bass player Specially on the song Rock&Roll from the Just supposing album. Unbelievable good bass playing After you left the bass groove was gone Francis wrote famous Quo songs and most of the singles He has the most recognized Vocal of Quo We are 35 years further now Enjoy you’re history and don’t be that bitter

Rip Alan you was an absolute legend

Great honest interview Alan Quo lost the plot after you and Spud departed.....they now sound like Smokie Loved your final gig with Quo in Dublin Best wishes for 2021

Only just listened to this. Great interview, some good insight from Alan. Hope that the tracks with Rick and John are released soon , if Rossi won't do it get someone else . Alan was right about people changing .

That's bull about him being left alone in the wilderness . Alan had made it clear that his move to Australia was permanent, so how could a band that gigs 230days per year fit that in. That said , I am glad I saw him in the 1984 tour and again in 2014. A legend who will be missed. RIP Alan, hopefully Rick is there to welcome you. 🙏🎸🎸

I think Francis got too big for his boots and didn't treat Alan and John too good in the end.

Great interview,, loving the part about the PLC tracks.

RIP Alan

Lovely guy.

Alan Lancaster 7/02/1949 - 26/09/2021 Bassist/Singer/Songwriter/ Producer/Genius of STATUS QUO fame, has died aged 72 of Multiple Sclerosis at his Sydney home, surrounded by his family. Born in London, he moved to Australia in 1976 after marrying his beautiful wife Dayle. Alan wrote and co-wrote many classic Rock songs The 9 1/2 minute Psych/Rock song "Is It Really Me, Gotta Go Home" was written by the Genius of Alan Charles Lancaster. Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon album 1970 on the Astor / Pye Label. Produced by the late / great John Schroeder. Anyone who met Nuff would know first hand what a beautiful, sweet and charming gentleman he was. I had the pleasure of socialising with Alan at a few gigs in the late 80's, at some of his gigs with The Lancaster Bombers and The Lancaster / Brewster Band and The Party Boys, the latter having 2 Chart Topping Hits. " Hold Your Head Up " by Argent and " He's Gonna Step On You Again " by John Kongos. Alan produced a multi-platinum selling album for Pianist Roger Woodward.

GOOD BYE ALAN LANCASTER...LEGEND 🇲🇽

RIP Alan Lancaster

Just his name is Cool. Big up Alan, up there with Rick, and Lemmy :) R.I.P. :)

Coghlan quit after kicking over his Drum Kit in the studio one day. Alan told the other guys that " he'll be back " Coghlan got on a plane and flew home, never to return. Rossi and Parfitt were imbibing way too muck cocaine and inadvertently were blocking John and Alan out of their inner sanctum. Rick and Francis had their own private codes and language that no one else understood. Even Rick had a meltdown at an airport one day, when he exploded at Francis, saying that he was sick of being No.2 in the band or 2nd fiddle, words to that effect. Francis has a dictatorial facet to his personality and if you didn't " fall into line " then you did what John and Alan did and left the greatest Rock band of all time. Very, very sad.

Sad news Cat, Alan was a key in the Frantic Four

Poignant now. Rest easy, Mr. Lancaster.

I've got the live AL Bombers album.......It's great.....they should've gone further.

I didn't know he died until i saw the repeat the Royal Variety show 2021.

GOOD BYE ALAN LANCASTER 🇲🇽

Tipuco englush man" me encanta¡¡¡¡ igual Rossi....y ¡cuanto se le echa de menos a Rick......

He seems almost he was about to turn into Einstain.

I think the new members are brilliant but there is still a part of me that thinks the original members are still missed

The UK end of the 90s was the decline of the music industry here, the LIVE AID captured the great artists from 70s and 80s. BBC banning Quo, which was terrible, record companies no longer existed, and things like Britain's got talent, which they didn't, was the norm...things change....shame, thanks for the music Nuff....

I always think they should have ditched Rossi after blue for you,saying that Nuff does sound a little bitter here IMO

He should write is autobiography.

Good luck to you mr Lancaster. A bit bitter but not twisted.

Strange thing... I am a member of several Status Quo groups on Facebook. I placed this link on some of those facebook pages and it got always refused by their administrators. A shame because this a very interesting interview wich is part of the Quo story.

it`s sad, that he`s bitter about the ending of the Frantic Four. But life goes on and he sounds like in good spirit these days.

Saw the 4 reunion In Hammersmith 2013. All music up to 1976 🎶 Average

Obviously Alan's easy to wind up, he's a proud guy, from a generation where you had to fight I guess. The frantic four (two reunion tours) were great, but, with respect, Spud and Alan weren't match fit, but both of them had to play the way Rick and Francis had played since '86. The first tour they cut 4500 times into Rain, that's the way "Quo lite" played it for years wasn't a frantic four thing. A number of adjusting in both camps. The 2014 shows were much better and live a good way to go out, but behind the scenes Alan health wasn't getting any better. Francis is francis at the end of the day.

Terrible interviewer; sounds like my mum "that must be awful"

13 luglio ROMA 🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮 🥮🍎🍎🍎🍎🥮 🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮

He comes across as likeable but also a tough-minded person who knows his mind so how much room would there be for two people like that in a band especially when the other one is the main songwriter?
