John Squire

Many Believe Squire was the Backbone of the Seahorses, in a way true. His experience gave the Seahorses their break in the music world, without him Helme, Fletcher and Watts would have had to worked a lot harder to get tho the popularity they got to together.
Squire in a way seemed hard to work with. Ending Madchester greats Stone Roses (Himself, Ian Brown, Mani and Reni) in 1996 and given an "Investment" from Geffen Records to quite literally make himself a new band.

He did just that. Whilst drowning his sorrows in a York pub, spotted bassist Stuart Fletcher, and a Busking Chris Helme along with drummer Andy Watts formed "The Seahorses".

Playing his trusty Gibson Les Paul, Squire produced some of the most influencial guitar music of the decade. Love is the Law - a Seahorses favourite. Drivin' South, Waterfall and Love Spreads from the Roses days make John a hero to Guitarists worldwide - Including Me! -

Not a stranger to the outside world, John is a keen cyclist - taking it up to stamp his Cocaine addiction which nearly killed him. He admits his fassion sence is abismal but whatever fells comfy goes well.
Also worked with Liam Gallacher of Oasis on the chords of "Love Me And Leave Me"
