Among the many stellar bassists to grace the Squeeze line-up was Keith Wilkinson who began his tenure with the tuneful lads on the Difford & Tilbrook self-titled slab waxed in 1984.

As was 1980s vogue, Keith boosted the treble, and doubled on fretless for a series of stellar Squeeze sides which somehow failed to make a significant dent in the marketplace including Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti (1985), Babylon and On (1987), and Frank (1989).

Wilkinson also afforded his bass skills to releases by Roger Waters, and his former Squeeze band-mate Jools Holland, among others.

When last sighted by KYBP, Keith was working with The Jar Family.
