Mark on Squeeze ???
« on: October 12, 2012, 10:53:10 AM »
There is a documentary on Squeeze on BBC4 television tonight at 9.00 pm .

Mrs twm says that, when the programme was previewed on one of the TV breakfast shows this very morning, it was said that Mark will make a contribution - probably brief - but, again, folk on AMIT may wish to make sure they record the programme just in case.

I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere else but Mark is certainly listed in the BBC website's preview when you press the "SHOW MORE" button:

The first Dire Straits concert ever, billed as Dire Straits (the first one in Deptford Farrer House was as Cafe Racers) was at the Albany Theatre with Squeeze, and it looks like both bands rehearsed at that time at the Woodwharf Studios in Greenwich (a not long walk from the Farrer House, that I did by myself two or three years ago) so probably both bands were friends...

We also know that Guy played in some records of their members, and some Squeeze members sung in STP cd...

If it can be recorded it will be very nice to watch it...

Is there any place to watch / download that shows from non UK viewers?

Mark made three very brief contributions - all towards the start of the prgramme, as might be expected.

I suggested MK's contribution would be brief and it was. Here's the BBC i-Player link:-

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01n8kmq/Squeeze_Take_Me_Im_Yours/

I have no idea if this will work for everybody but maybe it's worth a try. The again, maybe not.

It must be part of a longer interview, so maybe the DS/MK sleuths out there should start a-hunting.

Sorry about that. Where we lived before, we got TV by satellite and I had worked out a system for turning the recordings on our digibox into DVDs (nice clear and sharp ones, too) but, unfortunately, since we moved house and changed to cable, I haven't work out how I can do that.

Didn't know that - thanks!

I love the song Cool For Cats by Squeeze.  Such a cool song. 8)

I can't find it now, but an AMITer had sent an extensive piece of interview he did with Joop, and he mentions it there. Unfortunately I can't remember who was the AMITer. (sorry).
Squeeze was a fine group, if you can get a nice compilation with all their hits, you will enjoy. I particularly like these two:
Tempted
Take me I'm yours

They are still active and on tour, while these two links have mentions for their connection with DS.
