Squeeze and a private performance, just for me!

I have just seen a lovely post on the Squeeze Official site that says it was 9 years ago that they did a shoot with me for their impending tour. On this particular day, I met the band in a small town on the South coast of England. We did some shots in a retail shop that was borrowed for the shoot. We then decided to head high up onto the Beacons, in the middle of nowhere to set up a shoot with some props. It wasn't long before I asked them if they could actually play something whilst we did the shoot. So, there I was with one of my all-time favorite bands, high on a hill late in March 2012 in the cold and they were performing just for me! 'Take me I'm Yours' and a few others. I am just thrilled that it was being filmed and there is a record of this for me. There I was a little while ago at home (obviously as we are in Covid) and an Official message from Squeeze popped up with this memory "( years ago on the South Coast with Danny Clifford. By the way, Glenn had grown an incredible beard and it was the first time Chris had seen it. Glenn loved it and Chriss appeared to hate it. I thought Glenn looked rather refined and smart. I know that Chris wanted to cut it off. Here are a few photos from that day. I have also added the video link below so you can see the band performing for me on the top of the hills on the coast. It was cold and windy, but, weirdly, sunny. The photos are the vibe that Glenn, Chris and the band wanted for the photos for their impending tour. It was a very long day, but, as always with Squeeze, an absolute pleasure. I am thrilled to say that I have worked with Squeeze since around 1978. They are without doubt one of the greatest bands in the world. The songwriting of Chris Difford & Glenn Tilbrook is utterly amazing, combined with their musicianship with their incredible band they are true 'Rock n Roll Royalty. I don't know why I am telling you this, because, I am sure you all know this. However, just in case you have missed them for some silly reason, check them out. They are truly unique and quite phenomenal!
