AN ACOUSTIC EVENING WITH GLENN TILBROOK - THE VOICE & GUITAR OF SQUEEZE   SOLD OUT!

GLENN TILBROOK, one of popular music's most consistently brilliant artists, is best known for his work with legendary British power-pop band Squeeze, with whom he has been singing, playing and writing songs for many years. He, alongside Squeeze co-writer, Chris Difford have penned some of pop music's finest songs. Classics such as: "Take Me I'm Yours", "Up The Junction", "Cool For Cats", "Labelled with Love", "Another Nail in My Heart", "Is That Love?" and "Tempted" led to Tilbrook & Difford being hailed as the best British songwriting duo since Lennon and McCartney.
It should therefore, come as no surprise that many bands, ranging from Blur to Supergrass, The View to Razorlight, Fountains of Wayne to The Feeling and Kasabian have all cited Squeeze as a major influence.
From their formation in 1974 Squeeze have achieved spectacular success; a string of hit singles, 13 critically acclaimed studio albums, 4 "Best of", 3 "Live" albums, plus numerous compilations. Squeeze quickly broke America - where they carried out lengthy stadium tours and sold-out New York's Madison Square Garden. Squeeze front-men, Glenn Tilbrook & Chris Difford were also the very first artists to play MTV's "Unplugged" sessions. So successful was their unplugged show that MTV commissioned an entire series of unplugged shows which featured many legendary artists.
In early 2007, after an eight year absence, it was announced that Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford would reform Squeeze for a series of shows throughout the latter half of the year, in support of Universal / Warner's release of a new 'best of' album; 'Essential Squeeze'. The first actual full-band Squeeze show since 1999 took place with a headline appearance at GuilFest 2007, the band then went on to play sold-out shows in the U.S. the UK and Ireland.
In May 2008, Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford were the recipients of one of the music industry's highest honours, the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution To British Music, in recognition of the sheer quality and consistency of their songs.
Outside of Squeeze, Glenn Tilbrook has worked with; Mark Knopfler, Elvis Costello, Paul Young, Aimee Mann, Ron Sexsmith and many more. Songs he has written have been covered by a wide range of artists including; Sting, Joe Cocker, Elaine Page, Rita Coolidge, Andrea Corr, Kevin Rowland, Grandmaster Flash, Richard Thompson, Jane Birkin, Lily Allen and Travis.
As well as fronting Squeeze, Glenn Tilbrook is also a highly respected solo artist who to date, has released 3 highly acclaimed albums: “The Incomplete Glenn Tilbrook” (2001), “Transatlantic Ping Pong” (2004), while March 2nd, 2009, marked the release of: “Pandemonium Ensues” Tilbrook's first full album with The Fluffers. In between studio albums, a feature length documentary entitled: “Glenn Tilbrook - One For The Road” was released on 24th January 2006, this superb piece of storytelling candidly captures many aspects of Glenn's life on the road as a touring musician.

In concert Glenn Tilbrook is one of the most creative and spellbinding artists to take the stage - superb voice, great songs, breathtaking guitar skills and, he has a terrific personality too.
