This is John’s first exhibition in a public gallery, and I think he can be extremely proud of himself. For me, the trip up was definitely worthwhile. Along with all the people I met – including Jah Scouse’s other mate, journalist and friend of the stars, Debbie Manley, who won an award for a story she broke about Dirty Den! – I had a great time, and really enjoyed the exhibition. It is starting to sound like a cliché, but if he hasn’t done before, Squire is DEFINITELY starting to shake off his Stone Roses shackles and legitimately become known as an artist in his own right, so much so that perhaps I won’t mention The Stone Roses at all if I review the next exhibition!


I think he’s almost reaching the pinnacle of his achievement as an artist. And the only thing I wonder in that case is maybe, just maybe, once he’s done that, he might think there’s not much more he can do with his art, and decide to pick up his old guitar again!....
