LEGENDS of British rock music from the 1970s and 80s are coming to York for their 50th anniversary tour.

Squeeze first started lighting up the rock and roll scene half a century ago.

Going through some changes over the years, the current line-up no longer features founding members Jools Holland, Harri Kakoulli and Paul Gunn.

Composers and original members Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook have been the heart of the band's song writing and performing since its inception. Joined by new members they'll be reviving some of their greatest hits for the 50th anniversary.

Fans can enjoy performances of 'Up the junction', 'Cool for cats', 'Hourglass' and more. They are also being joined on tour by Damon Gough, also known as Badly Drawn Boy.
