Outbar Squeek

Contains 2 performances.

Jazz-pop ensemble led by David Hughes, and sometimes including Eddi Reader. Signed by EMI but never quite broke through, although their single 'Disco Eddie' became a cult favourite. Latterly known as Outbar.

David is now known as James Hesford and is still active in music. Here, for the first time, James tells the whole  Outbar Squeek story
