Boys are squeezing more out of life

MUSIC EXTRA: 

SQUEEZE, South London’s enduring purveyors of pure and uplifting pop music, are flavour of the month thanks to the release of their new album, “Cradle To The Grave”.

The iconic band, initially formed in 1973, has released a 14th studio album while on tour and the first collection of new songs since 1998. Reviews so far have been glowing.

Squeeze front-man Glenn Tilbrook said: “We reformed in 2007. Four years ago we agreed if we were to carry on, we needed to work on new material.” “Cradle To The Grave” is available as a 12-song CD, digital download and on vinyl. A special collector’s edition was released a month ago and that is available through the band’s website.



TICKETS are selling fast for a special Christmas Soul Party at Oldham’s iconic Candlelight Club on December 18 from 8.30pm.

The main attraction will be the fabulous Soul Amigos taking to the stage, led by popular Delph front-man Stuart Widdall. Carl H Spiers will be on the decks. Tickets are £10 from Carl’s Facebook page.



OLDHAM indie rockers The Visitors have announced a couple of new gig dates. The local outfit will hit Manchester’s Night and Day Cafe stage on November 26, and at ‘The Emergence’ show, at the city’s Aatma venue on January 9, supporting Larkins.
