Being on tour is something he really enjoys these days, seeing people and being with people is part of his experience as a performer. He will be playing songs from the Squeeze catalogue which he loves and co-wrote with Glenn Tilbrook, and from the solo albums He has recorded over the last 24 years.
His story is told through stand up and some sit down, a trip back to his council estate in South London, from his very first lyrical expression to the dressing rooms of this show.
With a few new songs written over the last four years or more with Boo Hewerdine, they tell a story of celebration and reflection. He can’t wait to climb back on stage and perform for you, although he has been shy and not very confident in the past, he now finds himself feasting the many dressing rooms and audiences around the UK.
On some of the shows he will be joined on stage by Melvin Duffy on guitar and together they will deliver an evening of warm and he hope funny stories. Melvin’s playing is outstanding and he feels so lucky to have him as his sideman, he cries over the songs and makes them sound always amazing.
‘A Little Stand-Up And A Little Sit-Down’ is not just a look back on 50 lyrical years, it’s a journey that asks, What Happened? What happened to all those years and mates he grew up with before he formed a band?
He hopes you enjoy this show.
