We went to see Squeeze tonight at the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and they were absolutely fantastic! So many great songs, Glenn's voice as good as ever, and a brilliant band of musicians. Chris's lyrics lift their songs to another level, and the often misused comparison of songwriting teams with Lennon & McCartney is perfectly apt for Difford & Tilbrook. Loved this gig, and thanks to technology already have a live CD of the night ❤🎸❤

Bookwomble @Kimbono We seem to like a lot of the same musicians 😊 4y
Bookwomble @Riveted_Reader_Melissa They were great! If you get the chance to see them, buy a ticket 😁 4y
Bookwomble @LauraJ Glenn's melodies are so catchy, and Chris's lyrics are little stories, often so poignant. I used to work in an electrical appliance shop in the 80s/90s (Rumbelows, for UK Littens of or approaching a certain age!), and could play my own soundtracks, Squeeze featuring heavily. I had one customer who listened through "Labelled With Love" in tears, asked me who it was by, and went over the road to buy it from Woolies! 4y
CarolynM I'm a huge fan. We saw them last year - so good - and we've got tickets for next year. No Difford in Australia, though, unfortunately. He won't get on the plane😂 4y
Bookwomble @CarolynM Oh, that's a shame - I didn't know he's aerophobic (is that a word?). Still, I'm sure it will be a great gig 😊 4y
Kimbono @Bookwomble We have such good taste. 🤣 (edited) 4y

Squeeze is one of my favourite bands and #Eastside Story is one of my favourite records. The book provides some interesting background for all the songs.
