Info
On 18 May 2026, The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester welcomes Christopher Cross, the Texas-born singer-songwriter whose melodic soft rock shaped the dawn of the 80s. Expect a set that threads his hallmark smooth vocals and clean guitar lines through songs that first carried him to radio—Ride Like the Wind, Sailing, Arthur’s Theme—alongside later cuts from Doctor Faith, Secret Ladder and Take Me As I Am. Cross has kept refining that west coast pop feel over the years, balancing gentle grooves, polished arrangements and ballads that lean on harmony and clarity rather than volume. It’s the kind of show where craft leads the way and nostalgia meets a writer still moving forward.
Also on the bill, Chris Difford brings the wry, detail-rich storytelling that powered Squeeze. Known for lyrics rooted in everyday Britain and a knack for snapshots that stick, he revisits gems like Up the Junction, Cool for Cats and Tempted, and dips into his solo songbook with a more acoustic, close-up delivery. Difford’s pen stays sharp, his tales unshowy but precise, offering a candid counterpoint to Cross’s sunlit melodies. Together, they map two sides of classic songwriting: West Coast breeze and London streetlight, played straight and built to last.
