SQUEEZE gig - Lllandaff Rowing Club, mid to late 80s

[Arfur Europe]

Squeeze doing a gig at Llandaff rowing club, is almost as bizarre as the time the Pretenders did one at our school in Ely in the 80's !

It's bizarre isn't it! I didn't believe it at first either, but it did happen and there is footage out there. It was an outdoor gig on the narrow field between the club and Bridge Road.

Think the poster on the other board was Whitchurch Blue if that helps?

I know Screaming Lord Sutch performed there many years ago. I will ask around.

Weren"t the Stranglers on the same bill, pretty sure I saw both bands there on the same day ?
I think that The Christians were also on the same bill.
The gig was put on by that guy that used to work for James & Jenkins in Llandaff North, Marcel Mace.

Don't think the Stranglers had their usual line up though. Something is jogging my memory about all of this. On a side note. I fitted all the new showers at the rowing club, in the late 80's.

In the 1980/90s they held at least 2 open air festivals. The locals complained it was too noisy, so they stopped. Stranglers played one event and they have had Madassa & the Henesseys there more than once.

Think it was 1989 , cannot remember Squeeze playing but the Christian's and Stranglers did. The organiser was a guy called Marcel Mace who is still about the Diff doing the same today. Event organising and such . He may have footage .
