Squire +Absolute Beginners (28th Nov 26) – The Portland Arms

The Portland Arms, 28 Nov 2026


Fronted by Anthony Meynell, Squire emerged from the late-’70s mod revival with a distinctive run of melodic, danceable pop records that quickly set them apart from the scene around them. Their debut Get Ready To Go! was the movement’s first single, and Squire opened the legendary Mods Mayday ’79 concert and live album before releasing Walking Down The Kings Road and The Face of Youth Today for Arista. My Mind Goes Round In Circles later featured Kirsty MacColl on vocals. “If you can imagine the first Beatles album slammed through the sound of classic Flamin’ Groovies, with all the wide-eyed enthusiasm and tunefulness that it implies, you’ll be close to capturing the sheer joy of Squire.” — Dave Thompson, AllMusic

With support from Absolute Beginners who’ll be blasting their way through a set of classic covers by The Jam, Secret Affair & The Lambrettas.
