Jools Holland has revealed that his reunion performance with Squeeze on Sunday’s Later… with Jools Holland wasn’t planned at all.
The original band members came together for a special performance of their 1978 debut single Take Me I’m Yours on the BBC show on Sunday (17 May).
Speaking about how the performance happened very organically, Holland recently told Radio Times: "It wasn't actually planned as a reunion performance, and that was not the purpose of it."
Explaining further, he said that Take Me I’m Yours "is something that we all performed together when we very first started, when we were very, very first beginning", adding that "it's one of the great songs that they wrote, and that's the reason they were coming on the show".
He continued: "When they came on, I rang Chris and Glen and said, because people previously have tried to persuade us with sort of, you know, enormous sorts of offers and all sorts of things to get back together, but circumstances have never really allowed it to happen.
"And so I said to them 'would you fancy, you know, I don't want to sort of, I don't want to barge in, but on the other hand, it would be nice to do something, it would be great to do something if you're there and if you fancied it'.
"And they said they would, so that's how it came together."
Asked whether the performance made them nostalgic, Squeeze guitarist and songwriter Chris Difford said: "We weren't actually on the same stage, we were about 15 feet apart, but it was nostalgic, and it was just the the ambience of the three of us being in the in the room together was really really lovely."
Holland formed Squeeze in 1974 alongside Glenn and Chris, before leaving in 1980. He returned in 1985 for a five-year period.
Holland also chatted to Chris and Glenn Tilbrook about how their sixteenth studio album Trixies - which was officially released back in March - came about during the show, and welcomed ex-One Direction star Niall Horan, who performed the title track from his upcoming album Dinner Party and the world premiere of another new song, Tastes So Good from the same album.
