Chris Difford on Songwriters’ Circle
Chris Difford is featured on BBC Four TV tonight in their Songwriters’ Circle:
Justin Currie, Chris Difford and Boo Hewerdine are the featured artists as BBC Four combines great singer-songwriters for unique concerts celebrating the craft of the song.
Filmed at Bush Hall on Uxbridge Road in west London, these concerts see three singer-songwriters perform their classic songs in turn, while helping each other out musically with harmonies and the odd guitar part. The artists only meet an hour or two before going on stage and, in between performance, take viewers inside their work, chattng about their songs, their history and background.
The three songwriters – Justin Currie, formerly of Del Amitri, who wrote hits including Nothing Ever Happens; Chris Difford, who mixes his solo work with Squeeze hits such as Up the Junction; and Boo Hewerdine, formerly of The Bible and perhaps best known for writing Patience of Angels for Eddie Reader – compare notes on songwriting, life after Top of the Pops and the male menopause.

It’s then followed by:
David Hepworth introduces part of a live concert by Squeeze from 1982 at the Regal Theatre in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.
I was there – in fact I helped organise it as part of my work experience in the Squeeze management office in the summer of 1982. I’m to the right of the stage in the front row in a white shirt ‘going crazy’. Enjoy!

Chris Difford headlining gig at The Albany in Deptford on Friday 21 May 2010 in their Best of Unplugged series. An evening of acoustic bliss. Here are my photos of what would normally be called a soundcheck but in this case is better referred to as a rehearsal:
Here are my photos of the gig:

Chris Difford News
Cashmere if you Can
Chris is now finalising plans for his new record, and the Saturday Morning Music Club (the new way of delivering songs, lyrics etc to members on – well I supposed you guessed that it arrives on Saturday morning, hadn’t you?). Here’s what his people have to say:
The record is now going to be called “Cashmere If You Can” (true to form Chris has now changed it twice), and he will hopefully be kicking things off mid-April, with the weekly delivery starting mid-May. Enigmatically, and topically, its highly likely that the first radio record will be “1975″. Saturday Morning Music Club is almost ready to be unveiled. Chris says: “I feel like the first man on the moon. Sort Of. Hope you enjoy it too. See you on Saturday”

The life and times of the capital have been immortalized in song by many a musician. From the bustle of the music halls to the riot of the punks, from London to LDN, the tradition is rich, a city celebrated, commiserated and eulogized through song. Co-curated by songwriter Chris Difford of Squeeze, this show brings together singers and songsmiths of the old school and new, in a celebration of songs about the city.
