Review

This one-off show, co-curated by Squeeze founder Chris Difford, had a weighty title, as if it were attempting to provide a definitive overview of London's musical history to rival Peter Ackroyd's magisterial biography of the city. But London has never had one signature sound, and what we had here felt more like an old-school celebrity-studded knees-up.
Phil Daniels compered from an armchair, and his gorblimey shtick found an echo in the Blockheads' Chaz Jankel and Derek Hussey's revisit of Billericay Dickie. It was at odds, though, with Robyn Hitchcock and Green Gartside's sweet harmonising on Hitchcock's Trams of Old London, and Mike Lindsay and Becky Jacobs of Tunng turning the Pogues' Rainy Night in Soho into spectral folk noir.
Difford grabbed a guitar to exhume David Bowie's pre-glam 1966 psychedelic nugget The London Boys, then was joined by Squeeze cohort Glenn Tilbrook for the kitchen-sink drama of Up the Junction. As a man who has written an idiosyncratic history of London, Suggs was perfect to partner Jools Holland on Oranges and Lemons, a tribute the pair have penned to late Cockney wordsmith Ian Dury. A muddy sound hampered Suggs and Chas Smash's Madness mini-set of We Are London and Our House, before Daniels joined Natty to reprise his role in Blur's Britpop geezer-anthem Parklife.
By this point, the evening felt like a music-hall revue, an impression heightened when Elvis Costello encored with Hoover Factory, a tribute to the art deco west London landmark, and London's Brilliant Parade, before the whole company united for a karaoke romp through the Kinks' Waterloo Sunset – a fun end to a well-intentioned but uneven paean to the capital.

Legendary pop group Squeeze are to be honoured by the PRS for Music Heritage
Award.
A special plaque will be erected in South East London where the original
group Chris Difford (guitar, vocals, lyrics), Glenn Tilbrook (vocals,
guitar, music), Jools Holland (keyboards), Harry Kakoulli (bass guitar) and
Paul Gunn (drums) first performed, at the Greenwich Dance Hall in 1975.
Difford said "I'm humbled that the birthplace of Squeeze has been chosen to
be marked in this way."
Co-founders Difford and Tilbrook will be present to see the plaque unveiled
in Greenwich on Tuesday March 23rd at 2.30pm. Both local lads, for Tilbrook
"it's a pleasure to return to the place where we performed as Squeeze way
back in 1975, I still buy my cheese just up the road!"
Over the course of their career Squeeze have had hits in both the UK and US
including "Cool for Cats", "Tempted", "Labelled With Love", "Black Coffee",
"Hourglass" and "Up The Junction". Their 'kitchen-sink drama' lyrics and new
wave music, as well as their effortless chemistry, saw Difford and Tilbrook
referred to as "the new Lennon and McCartney". The PRS for Music Heritage
Award marks the start of an exciting 2010 as Squeeze are set for their first
extensive tours of the US and the UK in over 10 years, having only
sporadically gigged since they reformed in 2007.
PRS for Music set up the Heritage Award last year to recognise the unusual
'performance birthplaces' of famous bands and artists. Squeeze is the fourth
band to be given the honour of receiving the permanent plaque, following in
the footsteps of Blur, Dire Straits and Jethro Tull.
PRS for Music Chairman, Ellis Rich said: "With its two very talented song
writers, Squeeze has made an incredible contribution to the British music
scene across three decades. Many of today's most commercially successful and
credible artists, ranging from Razorlight, Ron Sexsmith and Kasabian have
all cited them as a major influence so it's a real pleasure to be honouring
them today with the PRS for Music Heritage Award."
Anyone who was present at the first gig and is interested in attending the
plaque unveiling ceremony or has photos of the performance should contact
heritageplaque@prsformusic.com and will receive an official invite.
