Glenn Tilbrook - The Voice of Squeeze
Glenn Tilbrook has more than earned his place at pop’s top table as one of our most cherished singers, guitarists and songwriters, not to mention an in-demand and endlessly endearing live performer. More than 40 years after first answering an ad placed by Chris Difford looking for like-minded souls to form the band that became the much-loved evergreen Squeeze, an ending remains nowhere in sight.
Such is the continuing work ethic of a musician who has never been far from the action since Squeeze made their recording bow with the Packet of Three EP in 1977. Those humble three tracks led to a catalogue of enduring pop classics—Take Me I’m Yours, Cool for Cats, Up the Junction, Another Nail in My Heart, Tempted, Labelled With Love, Black Coffee in Bed, Hourglass (this could indeed go on for a while…)—as well as landmark albums including Argybargy, East Side Story, Some Fantastic Place and Cradle to the Grave.
Following Squeeze’s demise in 1998 (a state of affairs that proved happily temporary), Glenn embarked on a parallel solo career that produced The Incomplete Glenn Tilbrook (2001) and Transatlantic Ping-Pong (2004), albums that showcased an ever-maturing melodic and lyrical voice. In 2009 came the fizzing energy of Pandemonium Ensues, recorded with his touring band The Fluffers, while Happy Ending emerged as his most personal solo statement to date—an evocative set of songs about time, people and places, featuring contributions from his sons Leon and Wesley alongside long-time collaborators Simon Hanson and Dennis Greaves.
Over the past decade, Glenn’s creative momentum has only intensified. Alongside continued global touring with Squeeze, and recent work on two new Squeeze albums, he has firmly established himself as a tireless and much-loved solo performer, undertaking extensive headline tours across the UK and the United States.
