About the show
As co-founder of Squeeze, Chris Difford is behind some of the smartest, sharpest lyrics in British pop. He co-wrote the band's defining hits - Cool for Cats, Up the Junction, Labelled with Love, Tempted and Black Coffee in Bed - with long-time collaborator Glenn Tilbrook.
Beyond Squeeze, Difford's songwriting credits include collaborations with Elton John, Jools Holland and Bryan Ferry, alongside more than three decades hosting acclaimed songwriting workshops.
Touring in Spring 2027 with a brand-new book, Difford brings an evening of classic songs, candid stories, dry humour, and readings from his latest work - stripped back, up close, and personal.
