Hi Terry, Yes Tony Meynell is still lead man for Squire. They played a great set at the B'ham Alldayer. Nice guy, I asked him about the Bridgehouse gigs and he said he enjoyed 'em but he mainly remembered the electricity pylon!  All the best |

well my request for dates of bands playing the Bridge House has not been very successful,only Tag,has sent some in,oh yes and another Pal, who is writing a book about the 4 skins,(no not Gary Bushell) i will let you know his name later,U2 played for me on the 12th 0f December 1979,it would be good to get that week of gigs at the Bridge,and who supported them,also, come on get into all them old cuboards and files, we need you.

Terry, seems that more informations about that U2's show in December is unknown. But they only played at the Bridgehouse once in 1979. Another time they played at a Bridge House pub was in 1980, but it was in Ireland (didn't know existed more than one Bridge House!  ) Look what I've found. This site opens a .pdf of the paper The Londoner, telling a little about the Bridge House. It is at the LONDONBEAT part (where Jimmi Hendrix appears). There is a small notice about the pub and the bands that played there (U2, Dire Straits, etc). It's short. www.london.gov.uk/londoner/07jan/londoner_jan07.pdf |
