Intimate evening of stories and songs by Chris Difford, co-founder of Squeeze, drawing on the Squeeze songbook.
Chris Difford plays Scarborough Spa Theatre on Saturday 1 May 2027, with the show starting at 7:30 pm. He's the co-founder of Squeeze, and this is a solo date rather than a full band night.
He's billing it as an intimate evening of stories and songs, and his recent live sets have leaned heavily on the Squeeze songbook. If you've followed the band, that's where the bulk of the set comes from. He's been playing 'Up the Junction', 'Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)', 'Cool for Cats', 'Cowboys Are My Weakness', 'Deptford', 'Lamas Fayre', 'Freddie and the Dreamers', 'Is That Love', 'Labelled With Love', 'Tempted' and 'Fat as Fiddle'.
That's a fair run through the Squeeze catalogue in one night. 'Up the Junction' and 'Cool for Cats' go back to the early days, while 'Tempted' and 'Pulling Mussels' are from the band's more polished era. 'Deptford' and 'Lamas Fayre' bring in the London scenes he's spent so much of his career writing about. Between the songs, he'll be telling the stories behind them, so it's as much about the talk as the music.
