Description

Being on tour is something I really enjoy, seeing people and being with people is part
of my experience as a performer. I will be playing songs from the Squeeze catalogue
and from the solo albums I have recorded over the last 23 years. My story is told
through 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. My
new songs written with Boo Hewerdine tell a story of celebration, 25 years writing
lyrics and playing on stages big and small. A journey I look back on with great
fondness and gratitude. I can?t wait to climb back on stage and perform, although I
have been shy in the past I now find myself feasting on the here and now deep
within the shell like of your ear.
I will be joined on stage by Melvin Duffy on his pedal steel 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 new show
doors 7pm starts 8pm
