AS one half of the songwriting team behind the band Squeeze and now a successful solo artist, Glenn Tilbrook will be in Worcester later this month.

He has perfected a signature style marked by brilliant melodic invention, cheeky humour and slice-of-life pathos, all wrapped up with unshakable hooks and his golden boy tenor.

From chestnuts like Up the Junction and Pulling Mussels (From the Shell) through stunning new tracks Untouchable and Ray and Me, he has amassed a veritable Sears Catalogue of memorable songs.

After the release of his solo debut, 2001's The Incomplete Glenn Tilbrook, he hit the road, making his bid to become the new hardest working man in show business.

For three years, he ping ponged between Europe and the US.

As Glenn Tilbrook prepares to turn another page in his storied career, hitting the road with his three-piece band The Fluffers, he says, "I'm happy with this record.

"My hopes are that more people get to hear it than heard The Incomplete....I always like to get across to more people, but I've learned to live with the possibility that that might not happen.

"But nevertheless it doesn't in any way dent my enthusiasm for carrying on doing it, because I really really enjoy it."

Glenn Tilbrook will be performing with the Fluffers on Tuesday, November 29 at 8pm, at Huntingdon Hall.

Tickets are £15 from the box office on 01905 611427.
