Wolverhampton Arts Centre are delighted to announce a very special night of music and stories with legendary Squeeze co-founder and Ivor Novello Award-winning songwriter Chris Difford.
Join us for an intimate evening as Chris Difford brings his solo show to Wolverhampton sharing songs memories and moments from his incredible career.
Here’s a little message from Chris himself…
“Being on tour is something I really enjoy seeing people and being with people is part of my experience as a performer. I will be playing songs from the Squeeze catalogue and from the solo albums I have recorded over the last 23 years.
My story is told though stand up and some sit down a trip back to my council estate in South London from my very first lyrical expression to the dressing rooms of this show.
My new songs written with Boo Hewerdine tell a story of celebration 25 years writing lyrics and playing on stages big and small. A journey I look back on with great fondness and gratitude.
I cant wait to climb back on stage and perform although I have been shy in the past I now find myself feasting on the here and now deep within the shell-like of your ear. I will be joined on stage by Melvin Duffy on his pedal steel and together we will deliver an evening of warm and I hope funny stories. Melvins playing is outstanding and I feel so lucky to have him as my sideman he cries over the songs and makes them sound always amazing. ‘Not Only But Also’ 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 I grew up with before I formed a band.
I hope you enjoy this new show”
