    Nice one mate.

    Am pretty sure I saw in the Metro that they've got another gig coming up soon.

    Saw them at The Apollo a little while back, brilliant.

    Once Chris and Glenn have finished their solo work, there's a new Squeeze album in the offing as well apparently.

    Been a while since I've seen them, but always a great night out. Wonder if the Pelton will have a warm-up :smile:

    Some strange venues in there.. Glasgow Concert Hall is so sterile, with wooden seats, bright lights and audience far away from the stage. Worried the lads are acting their age...or even plus ten years..

    Can someone post if they get info about a Pelton warm up please, and I will take a break from shuffling around in my candle-lit hovel.

    No he means this...

    My grandparents lived in Delafield Road
    Right across from the Valley
    And when ever Charlton were playing at home
    The sound of the match would carry
    As I grew older I went to the ground
    And joined in with the singing
    I became one voice in a very big sound
    It's so great now that we're winning
    So when Saturday comes
    There's no time for glums
    There's no time for losers at all
    And when the Robins sing
    It's a happening thing
    There's no time to take your eye off the ball

    Down in the Valley
    One Two Three Four Five
    It's in the net
    So say goodbye

    Down in the Valley where the Robins wait
    Drums keep beating
    As a new dawn breaks
    The team's in the tunnel
    And emotions run high
    We're back in the running
    Our dreams are alive

    Down in the Valley
    With the Mums and Dads
    Kids in the red shirts and the woollen hats
    The tribe is meeting in the covered stands
    This is the passion of the Charlton fans
    It's another great reason why you'd want to be
    In south east London with the family

    At the end of the day
    We're going to roll up our sleeves
    It's a game of two halves
    If you know what we mean
    We are over the moon
    Or as sick as a pup
    And it looks like from here
    The only way is up

    £50 in the Bridgewater Hall - It's like some mental barrier I've got that stops me paying over £30 to see anything. Just because prem games are £50 everything else is too. Get my music on pub circuit nowadays where I used to watch Squeeze! My loss really.

    Nice story. Hadn't realised Steve Brown was down there now, after it all went a bit up the junction for him at Ebsfleet

    Fantastic gig at Royal Albert Hall tonight. Worked most of the new album into the set, but still did loads of classics - with some fresh interpretations of quite a few

    Saw them on Saturday at Southend and they were great. I thought the t-shirts they had on sale were very apt "I'd forgotten how much I like Squeeze " Good mix of old and new songs.

    Shame they could not have done the gig after a home game.

    Cannot get back from Reading in time.

    Did anyone see them on Andrew Marr's show today?

    Brilliant re-writing of the last verse of 'Cradle to the Grave' to have a great dig at the guest who just happened to be David Cameron - the subject of Glenn's ire on quite a few tracks from the last decade.

    Instead of
    They say time will wait for no man
    They say time is on my side
    I could never make my mind up
    As it all goes whizzing by

    Glenn sang
    I grew up on a council estate
    (missed this line) It's what made Britain Great ?
    there's someone here now
    Whos responsible for the destruction
    of the welfare state

    As a Charlton fan perhaps he can do an anti Duchatalet version too. Anyone got a contact?

    It all sounded a bit rough on the Marr show though
