My guest on this episode is the fabulous Chris Difford - singer,
musician, songwriter, and record producer - founding member of
Squeeze with Glenn Tilbrook.

His musical journey has run parallel to Paul Weller - from
starting his first band in 1972 - to hitting the big time in 1978
- and a legacy of magnificent songs like Cool for Cats, Up The
Junction, Is That Love, Some Fantastic Place - and at times their
story has crossed over too - most notably with Paul recording his
2000 LP at Chris' studio Heliocentric (the album was named after
the studio!)

A master of the smart, pithy lyricism - Chris has also written
songs for Jools Holland, Elton John, Wet Wet Wet, Helen Shapiro,
Billy Bremner and Elvis Costello - been the manager of Bryan
Ferry and The Strypes, and released four brilliant solo albums.

Chris published his autobiography in 2018 - Some Fantastic Place
- which charts his life from childhood in south London to
becoming a member of one of Britain's greatest bands and beyond.
Along the way Chris reveals the inspiration and stories behind
Squeeze's best-known songs, and his greatest highs and lows from
over four decades of making music.
