Truck festival stalled

Ah... the word from Quixotic Records and NME (among others) is that the Truck festival in Oxfordshire--- where Glenn and his band (I presume the Fluffers) were scheduled to perform--- got rained out and cancelled. Ah, well. Hope everyone is indoors and keeping dry....

No rest for Glenn?

It seems that Glenn Tilbrook is a busy man. The Oxfordshire Truck festival lists Glenn as a performer on the mainstage on Sunday night. However, it's not listed on Quixotic's list of gigs, and it's not on his Myspace page, so we'll find out if that's really true.

Also, according to Glenn's Myspace page, it looks like he and the Fluffers will be performing two dates at the V Festival on Aug. 18 and 19, which is less than a week after Squeeze's last show in the U.S. I'm a little bit unclear on the concept of this festival, except that it seems to involve camping and it lists two locations. Hm.

No, yours truly hasn't been at the wine, but thanks to an eagle-eyed member of the Glenn_list, I am thrilled to report that Messrs. Difford and Tilbrook played live at the 'Return To The Summer Of Love Festival' last Saturday!

The dashing duo were unbilled, but gave everyone a thrill as they took to the stage and played Take Me I'm Yours, Pulling Mussels (From The Shell), Is That Love?, Tempted, Labelled With Love, Cool For Cats and Up The Junction.

I hope you can feel the excitement as I type! (As there is indeed more!)

Check out this rather lovely post on 'That Truncheon Thing', and there might be another surprise there waiting for you :0)



Thanks to Helen (from the groovy Glenn_list) for discovering this gem of news, for Martin R for the brilliant photographs and Frank from That Truncheon Thing blog.
