Squire Fan Club Newsletter

Hi, and welcome to the latest newsletter where we catch up on an old friend and reveal a new song! 'Does Stephanie Know?' is more than a song, Stephanie has been an omnipresent character in the story of Squire for decades.  Originally introduced in 1979 and immortalised on the flip side of the single ‘My Mind Goes Round In Circles’, which also featured Kirsty MacColl providing a female vocal counterpoint to the story, she’s become a key figure the mythology surrounding the band. The song is played at every concert. Fans have named the children after her! We even discussed...

Welcome to this very special edition of the Squire Fan Club Newsletter! When we restarted the Squire Fan Club Newsletter back on July 25th 2019, inspired by the Expanded September Gurls release, and a flurry of UK tour dates, we had no idea it would carry us through to ISSUE 150! Thats a milestone worth celebrating! We were inspired to continue, urged on by your feedback, and found ourselves at Issue 50 on 1st August 2021, which was incidentally - Squire & The Quarter Boys! Discussing our connection to the  Get Smart horns and Jesamine trumpet solo - we even...

Hi and welcome to the latest Squire newsletter where, having been inspired by recent posts on Facebook discussing rare items, we're going for our own second deep dive! A few weeks ago we had our own rare stuff newsletter where we looked into the Squire archive and found some very interesting singles and artefacts. Indeed, we even found an original proof of the No Time Tomorrow sleeve, which was planned to be pink colour (actually 30% of warm red in printers parlance) back and front! and the pink tone remained on the back cover, after we changed our mind and...

Welcome to the latest newsletter where we search for the perfect Squire summer playlist! We were honoured a couple of weeks ago when AGMP who host the London Mods Mayday declared Get Smart was a great summer album - and a timeless classic! It had never occurred to us that the record could be associated with a particular season and it got us thinking, can we put together a Squire summer playlist? Are there songs that connect directly to summer, or summer holidays and the sunshine? Of course, our minds go straight to Sugarplum ‘Blue Summer Days’ CD which wears...
