TICKETS ARE BOUND TO SELL FAST TO HEAR ALL THOSE SQUEEZE HITS – BE SURE TO BOOK. It’s 1973 in South London. Teenage friends Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook form the band that will see them dubbed ‘The New Lennon and McCartney’. By 1984 after many chart topping hits Squeeze had disbanded. The chemistry between Tilbrook and Difford could not be as easily dismissed however, and the ensuing record they made together has become the “lost” Squeeze album for many fans. Now the subject of a major BBC documentary in the works, Difford and Tilbrook are also working on the first new Squeeze material in over 15 years.
Over 35 years later, with their legacy intact and as vital as it has ever been, Difford and Tilbrook are still touring and reminding fans worldwide just why they have left such an indelible impression on the UK’s music scene. The duos songwriting hits include such classics as ‘Take Me I’m Yours’, ‘Up the Junction’, Another Nail in My Heart’, ‘Labelled With Love, not forgetting the perennial radio favourite ‘Cool For Cats’…. the list goes on and on!
Squeeze’s contribution to music has been noted in 2010 with the site of their first gig being awarded a prestigious PRS For Music Heritage Plaque, which has so far commemorated the debuts of Blur and Dire Straits. It joins an ever-increasing list of Squeeze accolades alongside their recent Ivor Novello for Outstanding Contribution to British Music and their Nordoff-Robbins Icon Award and the Mojo Icon Award.
Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook have survived everything over the years, from the ever-changing musical landscape to their own internal reshuffles and acrimonious breakups – still going strong and still loving every moment.
