South Street Arts Centre is tucked away in a side street near The Oracle shopping centre in Reading. On arrival Glenn followed us into the venue apologising “tongue in cheek” for causing mayhem in the queue. He made acouple of trips between the venue and the huge RV that was squeezed into the road outside (pun intended!)
The small theatre was painted black from wall to wall and ceiling with a small stage at one end. Glenn bounced on stage in a dark pin stripe suit and Fluffers tee shirt in his usual happy go lucky way.
I am not one for reciting setlists but for the record there was something for everyone, Squeeze songs included “Take me i’m yours”, “Hourglass”, “Tempted”, “Labelled with Love”,”Slap and tickle”, “Up The Junction” and “Is that Love”. He did a few covers, the stand outs for me being “I feel good” and “Voodoo Chile” complete with mesmerising guitar playing and of course some Glenn and Fluffers songs such as “Still”, Black Sheep” and “The Best Of Times”.
It is well worth mentioning that his guitar playing is exceptional and his voice remains note perfect; in addition Glenn is a natural entertainer with genuine enthusiasm for his craft.
In such circumstances the evening is over before you know it; Glenn did a split set describing it as a game of two halves. If some of our seasoned Premiership footballers put as much in to their two halves we would probably win the world cup!! Simon Hanson appeared for the second half and was a very safe pair of hands ( I always think of drummers as goalkeeper’s)Leaving the venue i was on a high and it felt like a 4 – 0 win to a football fan, ’nuff said….
Cheers then, Glenn!!

I liked the way he announced that he was our “request Bitch” on more than one occassion.
Another great gig and a good review from Neal that sums up the night.
Oh, and maaged to grab a free tour poster on the way out too.
Only a 1hr drive home which was nice.
