Glenn Tilbrook to play Cheese and Grain

Glenn Tilbrook, one of Britain’s most cherished singers, guitarists and songwriters, will play in Frome this month as part of a 42 date solo UK tour.

There is no denying Glenn has been pretty busy over the last couple of years – such is the continuing work ethic of a fellow who’s never been far from the action since Squeeze made their recording bow with the Packet Of Three EP in 1977.

Following the release of his solo album ‘Happy Ending’ in 2014, Glenn embarked on the critically acclaimed ‘At Odds Couple’ UK and US acoustic tours with long-time collaborator Chris Difford.

In 2015 Glenn and his Squeeze bandmates wrote, recorded and released their first album of new material in 18 years – ‘Cradle to the Grave – which was written for the BBC drama of the same name, inspired by the memoirs of friend Danny Baker.

Anyone who has witnessed Glenn on the live stage can attest to the properness of his doings, as it were. Armed with ready wit, raucous vibes and a shed load of grin-inducing great songs, there are few musicians able to connect with their audience on such an immediate and warm level.

Glenn will play at the Cheese and Grain on Saturday 17th December. Doors 8pm and tickets cost £20 each from www. cheeseandgrain.com or 01373 455420.
