Squire Fan Club Newsletter

Hi, and welcome to the latest newsletter where Squire steps out of the box—fresh lineup, new guitars, new gigs, same unmistakable silhouette! We're still buzzing from the Miranda de Ebro Sixties Festival weekend, which was special for many reasons: it was the first gig of the year, the debut performance of the new lineup with James back on bass, and introducing Thomas on drums, it was our first visit to Spain for a decade since our last concert in Madrid - also with James on bass! And it was also the first time out for the green Rickenbacker!! We opened...

Hi everyone and welcome to the latest newsletter, It’s been a long time coming, but Squire are back on stage this weekend, and I can’t wait to see you there. Miranda de Ebro,  Spain – April 5th - Sixties Weekend A special appearance at the Miranda de Ebro Sixties Weekend festival!

Hi and welcome back to our ongoing exploration of the Squire songs that specifically celebrate mod culture! Last time, we looked at "It's a Mod Mod World" and its take on style and identity.
