Squeeze at The Albany THIS SUNDAY!!!

Yours truly has been sat in the corner of squeezereader towers sniffling and sneezing all week.

"Achoo!"

Frank, my faithful newshound has been bringing me cups of Lemsip and a fresh box of tissues on the hour.
The rain is beating down hard onto the windows and the world looks grey and uninviting until...

"Woof!"

Frank's tail sticks up and he bounds across the room with the graceful poise of a bull in a china shop. Chairs and desks part company while pot plants crash down and with a big bump! all the Chocolate bars from the vending machine scatter across the floor.

With one big bound for a dog and one giant step for squeezefans everywhere, Frank lands on my lap and waves an email at me.

Wowzers! Squeeze are going to be making an appearance at Chris Difford's benefit concert!

Hugging Frank I take a swig of my Lemsip and smile. Those grey rain-filled clouds don't look so bad after all!


Chris Difford's Benefit Concert takes place at The Albany Arts Venue, Deptford on Sunday May 4. Doors open 7:30pm and the show starts at 8pm.

Tickets cost £12:50 and are available from the Albany Box Office on 020-8692-4466, or check out their website at: www.thealbany.co.uk


Many thanks to Sandra (from The Albany) for the email :0)

She also tickles our aural tastebuds with this little teaser...

"... there’s a rumour that one of the special guests will be a certain dark haired pianist from the old days…"

I wonder who that could be? Will he be there from the start, or will he arrive later...?

Chris' new look website!

Whilst taking Frank, my faithful newshound, out for a walk around squeezereader towers, something extraordinary happened.

There we were strolling around the opulent surroundings of our orchard when Frank's nose started twitching.
"Hmmm", I thought, "Frank can smell something Squeezy in the air"

We carried on walking, when suddenly Frank jumped up and caught an object in his mouth.
On further inspection I was delighted to see that he had indeed caught something interesting.

On unfurling the exciting find, I was delighted to see the brand spanking new design of Chris Difford's website- very nice :0)

Go there now!

Take a bite of this new Chris video

How very cool. Stiff Records posted Chris' video for Fit as a Fiddle on YouTube. Check it out!

Listen to Chris' new tracks on Stiff Radio

"I'm on the old brown rice and the herbal tea..."

It's the end of the weekend here at Squeeze Towers and we've eaten the last crumbs from the biscuit barrel and the drinks machine is adding cold water to all our cups of coffee...

... BAH!

It's Sunday evening and what we need are some new tunes to put a smile on our collective faces.
And so, you wish is my command as Frank the newshound bounds up to me with his tail wagging and a fresh link hanging out of his smiling mouth.

Time to grab your mouse and drop into the Stiff Records website and click on the Stiff Radio tab on the bottom right hand side of your screen to hear four, YES FOUR!, new tracks from Chris Difford:

• Battersea Boys
• Come On Down
• Fat As A Fiddle
• Never Coming Back

And I must say that the songs are quite simply amazing (I've now listened to them at least five times) and I can't wait to hear his new album, the brilliantly named 'The Last Temptation Of Chris'... but don't take my word for it- GO AND LISTEN :0)

Whilst trawling the web, I came across this artwork for the promo cd-

I really hope that this is the final cover for the released cd as it's a stroke of genius!

FESTIVE GREETINGS TO ALL OF OUR READERS!

Watch Squeeze's Christmas Day Video :0)

Glenn and Chris work on new albums

On Glenn's Myspace, he announces a new Fluffers tour and album in the works. He also mentions Chris' new album scheduled for April, "The Last Temptation of Chris" (good title).

Squeeze on talkSPORT radio - rescheduled

So there I was...

Sat at squeeze reader towers with my little radio listening to talkSPORT and waiting for the airwaves to be lit up with the delights of Messrs Difford & Tilbrook.

As I did my morning rounds of tidying the desks, watering the pop plants and topping up the water cooler with gin, I heard the presenter say "Squeeze" and ran to my radio.

Unfortunately my moment of happiness was short-lived as Jon Gaunt announced that he won't be playing the interview today as he wanted to carry on taking calls.

With a sigh, I walked over to the water cooler, filled up my mug and went back to my desk.

However every cloud has a silver lining, and some good did come out of this...
... while I browsed the talkSPORT website, I saw a "Listen Live" link which will enable overseas fans to hear the interview when it gets played out next week :0)

For now, I'll have a listen back to the show to make sure none of the session tracks were played when I nipped out for a Twix bar.

Squeeze on UK Radio- Nov 23

It's a wet, wet, wet day here at squeeze reader towers...

Frank, my faithful newshound is lying in his basket and dreaming of unearthing the world's biggest bone, while yours truly is playing solitaire on her computer.

All of a sudden Frank's ears pop up and he bounds over to my inbox.
Within seconds he has presented me with the soggy remnants of an email (and a pen which I've been searching for since last Tuesday!)

The lovely Jeanine from the Glenn_list alerts us to two, YES TWO!, Squeeze appearances on UK Radio tomorrow...

Squeeze are doing a session on the Mark Lamarr show at midnight on BBC

Jeanine, you rock!

Gone bloggin'

After taking a nice cool shower from yesterday's hot Squeeze news, I stumbled across An Illustrated Guide To Squeeze from the Sweeping The Nation blog.

I'm looking forward to reading this once I've watered the pot plants at squeezereader towers, took out our faithful newshound, Frank for his run around the park and eaten that banana which was carelessly left by the cleaner...


... ooh, tempted by the fruit of another ;0)

NEW! SQUEEZE! LIVE! ALBUM!

Yesssss!

There are certain things that get you excited when looking through your inbox...

Now I'm not talking about young ladies offering to show you their 'creative' pictures, nor once in a lifetime offers that involve you giving your bank details to overseas businessmen.... nor am I talking about shirtless screengrabs of the swoonsome Dr Perry Cox from Scrubs...

... Actually the last one does make me beam like a Cheshire cat (and if anyone wants to send me shirless pictures of said doctor then you'll be making one Squeezefan very happy indeed)

Er, where was I?

Oh yes! Talking about excitement in my inbox!

So there I was, browsing through the Glenn_list when I see this from David (tour de force behind the groovy Packet Of Three website):

Well I squeaked in delight and punched the air like an extra from an eighties rock video.

Needless to say, I am beaming like the Cheshire cat who got all of the cream :0)
