SUGARPLUM - BLUE SUMMER DAYS (1997)

Sugarplum is singer, songwriter, guitarist Anthony Meynell's recording outfit. Bittersweet guitar based pop tunes embrace his diverse influences, a blend of anything from The Byrds to French 60's pop, Big Star to Bubblegum. Soft-centred, watercolour vocals are the charm and character of his music. The focus to the Sugarplum sound is Meynell's distinctive guitar style, folk influenced acoustic guitar with perfectly placed electric guitar enhancing his carefully considered and intelligent arrangements. Sugarplum shines above the crowd with its musicality, and lyrics that truly come to life with heartfelt melodies. Forget flavour of the month, this is true-pop; a timeless package of delight! Meanwhile, Anthony has been rehearsing with Squire again.

A Squire tribute album "The Young Idea" was released in 2006 on Twist Records.
Sugarplum played at The Cavern, Liverpool a few years ago as part of the IPO Festival.
