Squeeze became a fixture of the UK's music scene over the course of their 13-album career, before splitting in 1998. Despite tentatively reforming in 2007, Squeeze have so far refused to tread the well-worn reunion path by trading on their past glories, which have included hit singles on both sides of the Atlantic such as 'Cool For Cats', 'Tempted', 'Hourglass', and 'Up The Junction'.
Instead they have gradually been re-establishing the informal live show that made them such favourites in the first place. Co-founders and ever-presents Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook are joined on this tour by fellow Squeeze favourite John Bentley, with the line-up completed by Glenn's solo band-mates Stephen Large and Simon Hanson.
Chris and Glenn are hoping to spend this summer writing material together for a new Squeeze album next year. Their announced tour dates are as follows:
Sun 14 November O2 Academy, Bournemouth
