No, sorry, WSS, I'm don't mean you this time.
Mr Weegie and I saw Squeeze in Glasgow last night - great gig, though has to be said Difford's voice is not as strong as it could be. But as for our one and only Glenn Tilbrook - superb as usual.
We went to the bar in the venue after, then Glenn walked in through the door right near where we were standing. We let the groupies get their autographs and photos, then grabbed him for some good old Charlton chat. He's quite a big Pardew fan (not like me then!) and likes the way we're passing it about. Worships Andy Reid. Was surprised at the scale of defeat on Tues. Told us all about his house overlooking The Valley and how much he enjoys flying from London City airport for the view of the ground. Surely our number two celebrity fan (just pipped by Borg)?

I'd forgotton the Charlton & Squeeze connection - so never roared out "C'MON YOU ADDICKS" to him.
Going to see them on Wednesday at Hammersmith, can't wait.
I used to live next door but one to Chris Difford in Blackheath as a kid. My bro went to infant school with Jools Holland's younger twin brother's Richard & Christopher.
A brilliant live performer.
It wasn't advertised that he would be there, i think he just turned up with his guitar and played for free.
I used to drink in the Princess of Wales in Blackheath from time to time in the seventies and quite often Glenn would be sitting on the grass just across the road from the pub with his guitar and a pint giving an impromptu concert.
Great days.
