Squire Fan Club Newsletter

Hi and welcome to the latest Squire newsletter. We‘ve recently been visiting another Soho - in New York! Soho was the location of last year’s newsletter and video which we published on the anniversary of Kirsty MacColls Birthday which falls on the 10th October.  We won’t repeat the newsletter, there is a link below, but for all the new newsletter subscribers, we paid a tribute to Kirsty and explained the connection and how she ended up on the ‘My Mind Goes Round In Circles’ and ‘Does Stephanie Know?’ single! Her voice and harmonies take centre stage on the record and the combination...

Hi and welcome to the latest newsletter where we unplug the guitar, and investigate songs beyond the Squire repertoire, moving into the realm of lyrical songwriting. Today we are listening to the upcoming Anthony Meynell / Passengers On Trains LP and use ‘Tapestry of Fire' as an example to contrast the different sounds of acoustic guitars!

Welcome to the latest Squire newsletter, where we put the kettle on and discuss one of our most favourite pastimes alongside music and walking the dog - drinking tea!

Babzotica was...

Squire's 5th single release was a psychedelic pop masterpiece, an alchemy combining the spirit of The Beatles 'Revolver' and summoning the presence of Beethoven! The flip side contrasts with a mop top pop Squire beat combo classic! Together they create the perfect evocation of mid 60s musical style and were another unexpected surprise from Squire. But the original...

Hi and welcome to the latest Squire fan page newsletter. While we wait for the amazing weather to send some rain, we’re having another look at the Sugarplum album and the song ‘Holiday In England’! The song captures the images of a holiday, actually in Cornwall, and the song was originally entitled ‘Holiday In Cornwall’ The peninsular is unique because if its raining on one coast, it’s usually sunny  a few miles away on the other and the rain from the Atlantic can suddenly appear and end very quickly. So the lyric captures the experience of suddenly being caught in...
