Glen Tilbrook with special guest Leon Tilbrook.

The Haymarket Theatre
Sunday 17 May
7.30pm

Tilbrook has more than earned his place as one of our most cherished singers, guitarists and songwriters. 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.

Squeeze made their recording bow with the Packet of Three EP in 1977. Those humble three tracks led to a catalogue of enduring pop tunes - 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 - as well as landmark albums including Argybargy, East Side Story, Some Fantastic Place and Cradle to the Grave.

Following the band's demise in 1998 (a state of affairs that proved happily temporary), Glenn embarked on a parallel solo career and his creative momentum only intensified. Alongside continued global touring with Squeeze, and recent work on two new albums, he has firmly established himself as a tireless and much-loved solo performer.

His shows—often built around his celebrated Songbook format—have seen Tilbrook playing theatres, clubs and festivals on both sides of the Atlantic, reimagining Squeeze classics, showcasing solo material and fielding spontaneous audience requests with trademark warmth and virtuosity.

Anyone who has witnessed Glenn on stage can attest to the sheer rightness of his doings. Armed with ready wit, raucous energy and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of grin-inducing great songs, there are few musicians able to connect with an audience so immediately and warmly. 

Glenn Tilbrook remains, by any measure, one of British pop’s most vital and life-affirming performers.
