Thornton Hough Village Club presents Chris Difford ?Not Only But Also?.
?Being on tour is something I really enjoy these days, seeing people and being with people is part of my experience as a performer. I will be playing songs from the Squeeze catalogue which I love and co-wrote with Glenn Tilbrook, and from the solo albums I have recorded over the last 24 years.
My story is told though stand up and some sit down, a trip back to my council estate in South London, from my very first lyrical expression to the dressing rooms of this show. With a few new songs written over the last four years or more with Boo Hewerdine, they tell a story of celebration and reflection. I can?t wait to climb back on stage and perform for you, although I have been shy and not very confident in the past I now find myself feasting the many dressing rooms and audiences around the UK.
On some of the shows I will be joined on stage by Melvin Duffy on guitar and together we will deliver an evening of warm and I hope funny stories. Melvin?s playing is outstanding and I feel so lucky to have him as my sideman, he cries over the songs and makes them sound always amazing.
?Not Only?But Also? is not just a look back on 50 lyrical years, it?s a journey that asks, What Happened? What happened to all those years and mates I grew up with before I formed a band? I hope you enjoy this show, back for 2025.?

Inside, the club cultivates an intimate and welcoming atmosphere, characterised by a charming old-school aesthetic.
