Squeeze

In 1973, South London teenagers Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook formed a band which would see them dubbed ‘the new Lennon and McCartney’. Fifty years later, with their legacy intact and as vital as it has ever been, Squeeze are still touring and reminding fans worldwide just why they have left such an indelible impression on the UK’s music scene.Their live performances feature some of the smartest and sweetest guitar-pop of the era, and an impressive list of hits including Up the Junction, Cool for Cats, Another Nail in My Heart, Hourglass and Tempted, along with a few new surprises.The latest Squeeze line-up – Simon Hanson, Stephen Large, Steve Smith, Melvin Duffy, Sean Hurley, and Owen Biddle – has become an instant favourite on the festival circuit, with appearances at V, Oxegen, T in the Park, Womad, Latitude, and Coachella to name a few.In Squeeze’s 51st year, and with Ivor Novello for Outstanding Contribution to British Music, Nordoff-Robbins Icon and the Mojo Icon awards to their name, Chris and Glenn have survived everything, to keep going strong and loving every moment.
