With the country still in the midst of lockdown and no sign of any live music in the foreseeable future if at all this year I thought I would take the opportunity to look back in the archives, sounds posh I know but it’s just an spreadsheet, and revisit gigs I attended on this day down the years. I will keep this going until I can attend my first gig again in person so hopefully this also brings back memories for my gig going chums who have joined me on this great musical journey down the years.
Just the one today for my trip down memory lane for you down the years.
1995, Glenn Tilbrook, Half Moon, Putney, London
Twenty five years ago wow. The Three amigos head off to the legendary south west London venue The Half Moon in Putney to see Squeeze frontman Glenn Tillbrook. I think Squeeze might have been on a hiatus after releasing a greatest hits the year before so this one was just for fun. I think Tilbrook may have even released a solo record in 04 too.
It’s an obviously low key gig and he rattles through squeeze classics along with his solo stuff. I may be making this up but I think Cathy Dennis joined him on stage at some stage too,
A good show by one of Britain’s best singer songwriters in an intimate setting.
That’s it for today’s trip down memory lane. Here’s hoping we can get to some form of normality soon. Support your small local venues and smaller artists in these difficult times, stay safe and keep on rockin y’all.
