Welcome to the official MySpace page for Glenn Tilbrook, singer, songwriter, solo artist and founder of Squeeze



Tilbrook first came to fame as founding member and one-half of the songwriting team behind Squeeze who wrote some of the most-loved songs of the last thirty years. They notched up Top Ten hits around the world with – “Cool For Cats,” “Up The Junction,” “Slap & Tickle,” “Pulling Mussels (From A Shell),” “Another Nail In My Heart,” “Tempted,” “Labelled With Love” and “Black Coffee In Bed.” Today’s newer artists, such as The Feeling, Kasabian, The View, Razorlight, Mark Ronson and Lily Allen have all sited Squeeze as a major influence.



In respect for their songwriting Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford have been honoured with two prestigious awards this year – the Ivor Novello Award for their “Outstanding Contribution to British Music” (presented by Mark Ronson) and the “Icon Award” (presented by Lily Allen) at the O2 Silver Clef Awards.



In 2007 the newly reformed Squeeze played sold-out shows in America and the UK. In summer 2008 they played at Womad, Beautiful Days and V Festivals in the UK and a nineteen-date American tour in September.



Tilbrook is also involved with the Love Hope Strength Foundation. In 2007 he trekked to the Base Camp on Mount Everest to raise money for a Cancer Hospital in Nepal. It also went in the Guinness Book of Records for the highest ever recorded gig on land. This year he will travel to Kilamanjaro on the 27th September – 9th October.
