I just had a phone call from someone who had a phone call (and so on) but it turns out that Squeeze are to have a PRS plaque unveiled at the Greenwich Dance Hall to mark their first gig this afternoon at 2:30 pm. As Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford were both on BBC Breakfast News this morning to announce their plans for the summer, there's a very good chance the both of them will be there. I'll see whether I can get along with a camera. Here's the news on their website
Ok, it's more of a Greenwich event than a Deptford event but as Squeeze associated themselves from the start with ''Deptford Fun City'' I think it's well within our scope...
I saw this on the Greenwich Phantom blog a few days ago - it's hidden at the bottom of the story about the 'Tuesday of Discontent'.
ReplyDeleteCheers, DD, I nearly always read the Phantom's posts but as that post was dealing with NOGOE - troublsome subject - I didn't read down to the bottom where the snippet was buried.
ReplyDeleteSqueeze were the first band I ever saw live in Deptford...at the Oxford Arms (now the Bird's Nest) in around 1979 (?)...Showing my age...
