Status Quo

Mighty Innovators of 70s Rock

Beschreibung

Maligned by the UK music press and shunned by the DJs who refused to promote their music, Status Quo is one of the most underrated bands in the history of popular music. Cope redresses that misconception through detailed study of the bandâ s music and performances, related musical and cultural sub-topics and interviews with key band members.

Much of his career was spent in secondary education in the employment of Staffordshire County Council, where he worked tirelessly to promote the relevance and pedagogy of popular music. Cope has acted as a consultant to advise, mentor and tutor other teachers as the trend for teaching popular music on the secondary curriculum caught on.
