About Glenn Tilbrook
Glenn Martin Tilbrook is an English singer, songwriter and guitarist. He is the lead singer and guitarist of the English new wave band Squeeze, a band formed in the mid-1970s who broke through in the new wave era at the decade's end. He generally writes the music for Squeeze's songs, while his writing partner, Chris Difford, writes the lyrics. In addition to his songwriting skills, Tilbrook is respected both as a singer and an accomplished guitarist. He recorded the song, "Man Don't Stick Around Too Long", which appeared on the 2007 album, The Lord's First XI. The chemistry between Tilbrook and Difford could not be as easily dismissed however, and the ensuing record they made together in 1984 has become the "lost" Squeeze album for many fans. During Squeeze's first hiatus, from approximately 1983 to 1985, Tilbrook wrote, recorded, and toured with Difford as Difford & Tilbrook. In April 2007, Tilbrook released The Past Has Been Bottled, the first in a five-disc series of remastered demos.
