Description

Chris Difford is a rare breed. As a member of one of London?s best-loved bands, the Squeeze co-founder has made a lasting contribution to English music with hits such as ?Cool For Cats?, ?Up The Junction?, ?Labelled With Love?, ?Hourglass? and ?Tempted?. Despite the fact that Chris has helped soundtrack so many fans? lives since his first release in 1977, the passion for innovation and love of playing still drives him to carry on writing rather than sit back and admire his handiwork. Chris recently celebrated his 60th birthday and for 41 of those years he has been writing with Glenn Tilbrook, very much the Odd Couple. When Squeeze take a break from the road, Glenn and Chris have been touring their ?At Odds Couple Tour? both in the UK and the US.

Chris and Glenn wrote a new Squeeze album based on the life of Danny Baker, it was the soundtrack for a BBC2 production called ?Cradle To Grave? staring Peter Kay. All original music, it became the first Squeeze record in 15 years. ?From The Cradle To The Grave? was a very exciting project for all concerned and it was so good to be back in the charts and on the radio again.

Over the course of a 13 album career with Squeeze, it was clear from the very beginning that Chris Difford has few peers when it comes to smart, pithy lyricism. His ?kitchen sink-drama? style has drawn plaudits from fans on both sides of the Atlantic, while his influence is keenly felt today. The likes of Lily Allen and Mark Ronson, Kasabian, Razorlight and The Feeling have all recognised the debt they owe to Squeeze?s music and to Difford?s way with words, while journalists were moved by his winning combination with Glenn Tilbrook to dub the pair ?The New Lennon and McCartney?.
