Squeeze play Connexin Live on their 'Tried, Tested and Trixies Tour', with very special guest Billy Bragg.
Squeeze play Connexin Live on Thursday 19 November, with Billy Bragg opening the night. It's part of their Tried, Tested and Trixies Tour, which brings them back to UK stages this autumn, more than five decades after Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook first started writing together.
Formed in London in 1974 and named after The Velvet Underground's album of the same year, Squeeze have remained one of Britain's most celebrated songwriting partnerships. Their catalogue includes 'Up The Junction', 'Cool For Cats', 'Tempted', 'Another Nail In My Heart' and 'Labelled With Love' — songs covered by artists as diverse as Erykah Badu, Joe Cocker, Patti Austin and Questlove & Robert Glasper.
The tour follows their acclaimed album Trixies, a collection of songs the pair wrote as teenagers in 1974, and a major North American tour. Difford and Tilbrook are the only original members left in the band; they're joined now by Stephen Large on keyboards, Lucy Shaw on bass and Simon Hanson on drums. After a decade of inactivity following 1998's Domino, they reconvened in 2007, and this run of dates sees them back on the road with the new material from Trixies alongside the older songs. Billy Bragg takes the stage as the very special guest before them.
