Squire Fan Club Newsletter

Hi everyone and welcome to the final Squire newsletter of the year. First of all, thank you to everyone who sent, and continue to send messages of condolence and comments on social media. It has really helped to frame Kevin's musical legacy for his family who miss him so much. We would normally reflect on the passing year in this pre-Christmas newsletter, and we'll do just that, but we also want to take the time to celebrate Kevin's crucial contribution to the music. A while back, we shared a newsletter focused on his drumming influences which you can still read...

It is with immense sadness that I share the passing of my brother, Kevin Meynell, who lost his brave battle with cancer. Kevin leaves behind his beloved wife, three daughters, and two grandchildren—a devoted family man who cherished every moment with them.For nearly 50 years, Kevin was the heartbeat of Squire.

This picture of Kevin proudly sitting on his first bass drum epitomises that moment we go beyond hearing music to wanting to express ourselves in music. Most of us have a defining moment from when we’re young, an early musical experience that resonates...

Hi and welcome to the latest newsletter where we make the connection between Shoes and The Jam ( - not Jam Shoes!). First of all, thanks to everyone who is posting great messages on the Facebook pages about the new release! We are knocked out by the response! The latest release is the mono version of the 'September Gurls' EP, and although the original stereo mixes are fantastic, especially the cover of Shoes’ 'Boys Don’t Lie', where the vocals answer each other during the coda in a hypnotic repeat, as the guitar solo (not many of these on Squire records!) spirals...
