Glenn Tilbrook on his way to the Apex later this month

Glenn Tilbrook, one of Britain’s most cherished singers and songwriters, is calling in at the Apex, in Bury St Edmunds, later this month.

He’s still going strong, more than 40 years after he answered an advert placed by Chris Difford to form the band that became Squeeze, famed for their enduring pop classics including “Take Me I’m Yours”, “Cool For Cats”, “Up The Junction”, “Another Nail In My Heart” and “Labelled With Love”.

 Squeeze’s demise in 1998 (though not permanent) saw Glenn embark on a solo career that spawned the albums “The Incomplete Glenn Tilbrook” (2001) and “Transatlantic Ping-Pong” (2004), showcasing an ever-maturing songwriting talent.

Following the release of his solo album “Happy Ending” in 2014, Glenn embarked on the critically acclaimed “At Odds Couple” acoustic tour with his friend Chris Difford.

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 Tilbrook plays the Apex on Thursday, March 24, at 7.30pm. Ring the box office on 01284 758000 or see the website – www.theapex.co.uk for details.
