“Hello all,

The New Roscoe, Leeds is a large, friendly pub style venue and undoubtedly the hardest to find yet. Many thanks to Stephen who stood on the roundabout (US traffic island?) and “talked me in” down his phone. Luckily Rona had arrived just before me. There were about a half dozen tables at the front, the rest was standing room by the bar and it was an (ink) stamp on the hand job to
get to the Ladies and back again. Tonight’s support was by Ben Jones and very much appreciated by all, I think he said he was support for the rest of the tour.

Glenn came on very quickly after Ben, I thought his cold was getting a bit better(hope so). In complete contrast to Beverley there was lots of background noise but a good, lively atmosphere. Very few covers apart from Wine Spodee Odee, lots of requests shouted. Vagueley remembered set list;
This is where you ain’t, Labelled with Love, Mussells,Parallel World (wonderful), Electric Trains, Another Nail in my heart, Elephant Ride, Hangover, This Summer, Otherworld(“Did Ben do it? No, well I will then”) I won’t see you, Is that Love.

Surprises? Most definitely; Melody Motel (the key change at the last verse was just brilliant), No Place like home (unusual rhythm), Cold Shoulder, Touching Me Touching You, and Footprints (excellent)
It was lovely to hear all the tracks delivered with such power and feeling. One long encore including Hourglass.

The promo poster had the picture of Glenn from Babylonandon album and advertised “The man from Squeeze, solo and acoustic – bringing you the hits and more” He certainly did.It was lovely to meet up with Rona and the other listeners again tonight. I’m left with a red stamp mark on my hand and Melody Motel constantly swimming round my brain as a memento of another great gig.
I feel more like 14 than 41.
Thanks to Helen for that fabulous Beverley review, it was great to see you again. (Susan,the Night and Day cafe would be a fab venue in Manchester)”
