Great news, the first collaboration between Glenn Tilbrook and his friends Nine Below Zero is now available at the Quixotic Shop. The project is called The Co-Operative and is an album of 11 tracks of new collaborative songs and covers. The album is released in the shops in October and will be available at all shows on Glenn’s acoustic tour in the UK, so for now the Quixotic Shop is the only place to find it.

Glenn’s UK acoustic tour at the end of the year has turned out to be a mammouth 36 dates! The tour support is going to be provided by our lovely friend Steve Poltz from San Diego. I am sure many of Glenn’s US fans will remember Steve as he has supported Glenn over the pond before. He is amazing and I am sure you will all absolutely love him.
The tour is going to be very different from anything Glenn has done before. The show is acoustic but there will be plenty of surprises. We are going to be recording every night and making the show available at the end of the night at the merchandise stall. So many people have asked for so long about making his acoustic shows available, well we have finally got round to it, and you can be part of the release you take home!
He will be performing some new songs on the tour that have yet to be put on to CD. So not only the new Co-Operative material but also new Glenn Tilbrook solo material to look forward to.
Squeeze are in South Shields on Friday this week at the Great North Run show and then Vicar Street on Sunday 18th. These are the last Squeeze shows this year.
There are lots of exciting plans in progress for next year for Glenn and Squeeze, we will get back to you soon with some more information.
Hope you are able to get to some of Glenn’s shows if you are in the UK.
Thanks for all the continued support.
The Quixotic Team.

Confirmation of Glenn Tilbrook’s latest project comes from the Nine Below Zero web site:
Latest News
The project with Glenn Tilbrook is now finished and has a release date of mid-September. Rather than it be Glenn Tilbrook and Nine Below Zero we felt the project needed a name: The Co-Operative consists of five new songs, self-penned, three covers, and three self-penned instrumentals. We are really happy with the project and will be launching it at the gig in Greenwich on the 28th of July 2011.
Things may have seemed quite quiet in the Squeeze camp recently but it’s the calm before the storm. There’s so much happening it’s hard to fit it all in one post, but I’ll have a go.

Chris Difford is curating Songs in the Key of London on Sunday 31st July with a guest appearance from…. yes, you guessed, Glenn Tilbrook.
Glenn Tilbrook and Nine Below Zero will be releasing a new album shortly (artwork available soon). It’s an 11 track album featuring the band and Glenn with three classic cover versions, three instrumentals and five original compositions by the boys. They’re all really excited about the project. Anything they do in the future will be under the name ‘The Cooperative’.
Expect to see the next of Glenn’s demo CDs later in the year. It’s going to be a good one.
Also coming soon is the release date of If I, If I, If I… The Songs of Squeeze Revisited.
50-track, 4-CD album covering the first four Squeeze records – “Squeeze,” “Cool For Cats,” “Argybargy,” and “East Side Story” – in their entirety and in their original track sequence. Features many of your favorite artists from previous Burning Sky Records releases, as well as some great new discoveries. To be released July 26, 2011, this will be Burning Sky Record’s most ambitious album yet!

Glenn is currently in the studio trying out a few tracks with Nine Below Zero with the possibility of an EP before their joint tour. Those of you who have checked out Snipturn‘s excellent YouTube Channel will have seen Glenn playing acoustic double bass with Dennis Greaves and Mark Feltham on the classic Nine Below Zero track ‘The Story of Nathan John’.
‘The Story of Nathan John’ is the standout track from the 2009 album ‘It’s Never Too Late!’ released on Ikon Originals. Glenn plays ebo, hand claps and backing vocals on ‘You’re The Man’, banjo on ‘The Story of Nathan John’, backing vocals on ‘I’m So Alone’, sitar on ‘A Man Out of You’, Wurlitzer piano on ‘Fairweather Friends’ and plain old guitar on ‘You’. Classic!
Anyone who saw The Raglans play as support to Glenn Tilbrook will have been impressed – great songs, lively performance and loads of character. Their EP ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ (available from the Quixotic Records Shop) has four tracks. Luke and Stephen play many of the instruments, but who’s this on electric guitar, bass and additional backing vocals? Glenn Tilbrook. Who’s on drums? Simon Hanson. And on the Wurlitzer? Stephen Large. Just to cap it off there’s additional backing vocals and hand claps from Dennis Greaves of Nine Below Zero.
Glenn produced tracks 1 and 2 ‘In The Night’ and ‘The Afterthought’ and it was recorded at Glenn’s 45 RPM Studios in Charlton.
The Squeeze frontman and Nine Below Zero tackle a Lennon/McCartney song originally from The Beatles’ finest album `Abbey Road.
So did you buy a copy of Mojo magazine with this track on the cover-mounted CD?
Glenn has just left to do some shows in the US, details below.
Thurs 10th Feb Philly Rocks show at The Field House, Philadelphia, PA – all proceeds go to the Love Hope Strength Foundation, great line up!

Glenn will be following this with his next trek for the Love Hope Strength Foundation at the end of this month. They are climbing and singing their way up Kilimanjaro to help raise money for cancer units in Africa.

We will be releasing the 3rd and 4th installments of Glenn’s demo series later this year, we will keep you posted with dates and information nearer the time.
Hope you are all enjoying Fluffers TV, there should be some new films going up very soon.
Check out this month’s MOJO. The free CD is re-records of the classic Beatles album ‘Abbey Road’. Glenn recorded the track ‘You Never Give Me Your Money’ with the great band Nine Below Zero. Well worth a listen.
