Treated myself to a WiiM Ultra streamer. Game changer!

Son bought us a couple of gig tickets for Christmas for us to attend together in 2026. Quite different but love them both and been enjoying listening to them. The Darkness and Squeeze.

Can’t stand The Darkness but Squeeze have been one of my all time favourite bands for many years. They were brought up in the same part of London as me and Glenn Tilbrook went to my school. Spooky fact is that when I lived in Eltham I lived in Tilbrook Road which was also 2 doors from Boy George’s family. :grinning_face:

One of my favourite albums for background feel is

Chris Rea’s La Passione

It’s just now popped up again as the PC worked through my library. This one I don’t skip past.

I’m not keen on the film, but the flowing mood in the music is superb, and occasionally it surprises with some intriguing time signatures.

Son is Darkness fan and I’ve been with him to see them before. Not what I’d tend to listen to but entertaining live.

He knows I’ve always been a Squeeze fan and saw them live back in the day, so that will be a particular treat.

Granddaughter (10) has been listening to Squeeze since discovering them at Christmas and spreading the word amongst her friends, so a whole new fan base will be developing :laughing:.

Seen them a few times over the years and recently supporting Madness. I know they are touring this year also. Brilliant lyrical band! Thier music never seems to date!
