Squire Fan Club Newsletter

Hi, and welcome to the latest Squire newsletter where we announce new gigs and new sounds! Just when you think you’ve pretty much covered all the latest Squire news and then something drops in your mail box! I’ve been listening to these versions of Squire songs by a band from Chicago. Illinois called the Sharp Pins! I have to say there's something about the way they have captured the ethos of the Squire sound, connecting the harmonies that have always been a vital ingredient, to a more 12-string guitar sound, avoiding a ‘wall of sound’ guitar garage band vibe that...

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?

Hi and welcome to the latest newsletter—where we go undercover and discover versions of songs that remained hidden… until now! We were really surprised and delighted this week to be sent a link to The Coolies’ version of ‘Over You’! The Squire song first emerged as part of the Tangerine Records retrospective Get Ready To Go CD. It was originally an unreleased outtake from the 1982 Girl On A Train sessions, which also included The Place I Used To Live, as well as studio recordings of Noonday Underground, Make Love To You, Has Our Love Gone Bad, and Modern Love...

Welcome to the latest Squire newsletter, where we look back on last week’s Mods Mayday celebrations! This time last week, we were at the Mods Mayday event at the 229 Club in Central London—catching up with friends, fans, and familiar faces! We were also gearing up for our debut performance at 8:10pm, which featured the live debut of ‘I’m 21!’ from the Get Ready To Go album. Naturally, we followed it with… ‘Get Ready To Go!’ And, for good measure, ‘It’s A Mod Mod World’ too! As we said last week, there’s always a buzz before stepping on stage—never quite...
