Friday 16th November 1979
The venue wasn’t at Top Rank as listed, it was at Cardiff University (Student’s Union).
I had bought a few of their singles taken from their only 2 albums at the time and decided to see them with a
mate of mine. I was 21 at the time and remember enjoying the concert. I remember Jools Holland on keyboard, puffing away on his cigars (You can’t do that now!). They played all the hits, my favourites being ‘Take Me I’m Yours’ & ‘Slap & Tickle’.
I was mostly impressed by the support band ‘The Photos’ fronted by Wendy Wu, who sang great and looked great. I only knew them by their single ‘I’m So Attractive’. I enjoyed their set.
It was such a long time ago (32 years) but I enjoyed it.
I have no concert ticket (I try and keep them if possible) and I can’t remember if any merchandise was sold.
I have’nt seen Squeeze since, but have purchased ‘Essential Squeeze’ and Glenn Tilbrook’s ‘One For The Road’ DVD which keeps me happy for hours.

  They definitely played the Top Rank Cardiff circa 79 to 81, perhaps not on the November date you list.
