    Cummings quits No10, the Yorkshire Ripper meets his maker, and now Dels announce a new album. Best Friday the 13th ever! Welcome back lads.

    Excellent song. Nice to see/hear that Mr. Currie is on the right/righteous side. My wife and I saw Del Amitri in October 1997 at the Royal Albert Hall on our honeymoon.

    Fantastic. Great to know that a new Dels album is on the way. (And good to know about this channel, too - I was unaware that it existed before this).
    Love the sound of the song - Justin's voice, the drums sound fantastic; a bit of Beatles ADT in there, too, maybe.

    Great news in a year of little great news. Luv this band as well. Discovered them when I left Calgary Canada to go to UEA in Norwich, England in 1989. Have had an deep affect on my music ever since. Luv the metaphoric "shot across the bow" of Brexit.

    Went to see them at The Astor in Perth, Western Australia last night. Justin Currie has been an outstanding lyricist (look up No, Surrender). This time he sets his sights on Brexit, and the fucking idiots who thought it was a good idea.
