He is a Grammy nominated and double Ivor Novello Award winning lyricist who has for over 40 years successfully turned the every day mundane into the beautiful through the power of song.
Co-founder of chart topping British band Squeeze, he has co-written some of the most enduring and best-loved songs of our time such as ‘Up The Junction’, ‘Cool For Cats’, ‘Labelled With Love’, ‘Tempted’ and many others.
As one of the most accomplished & respected songwriters he has been hosting writing retreats for over 25 years mostly from Somerset along with the wonderful Buddy Holly Foundation at Pennard House.
He released his autobiography ‘Some Fantastic Place’ in 2017 recognising his journey into recovery and selling out a two week run of his solo show at Edinburgh Festival.
So while Squeeze along with their ardent fans await tours to kick off again, including a much anticipated rescheduled tour with Hall & Oates, his creativity continues via online workshops, concerts from home and podcasts.
