Legendary pop group Squeeze are to be honoured by the PRS for Music Heritage Award.

A special plaque will be erected in South East London where the original group Chris Difford (guitar, vocals, lyrics), Glenn Tilbrook (vocals, guitar, music), Jools Holland (keyboards), Harry Kakoulli (bass guitar) and Paul Gunn (drums) first performed, at the Greenwich Dance Hall in 1975.

PRS for Music set up the Heritage Award last year to recognise the ‘performance birthplaces’ of famous bands and artists. Squeeze is the fourth band to be given the honour of receiving the permanent plaque.

Founding members Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook will be there to see the plaque unveiled in Greenwich on Tuesday March 23rd at 2.30pm.
