This time last year – in the good old days when live music was possible – we played a handful of shows around the UK to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our debut album, I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose. This tour finished on a Friday night at Brixton Academy in London, and we took the decision to record the show that evening. This was a particularly special night for us in any case – seriously a show that we'll all remember forever – and especially considering what's happened since, we're grateful we have a memory like this to keep us all going until live music can resume. We'll be releasing this live recording on December 11th. It will be available on vinyl and CD, as well as all your usual streaming and download services. We're also releasing a double LP, which includes the live recording as well as the original studio album. We've also designed some special I Had The Blues merch to celebrate the release. You can get any of these items individually, or as part of a bundle with the album through our website. The album (and merch) are available worldwide but any items ordered by December 11 for UK delivery should arrive well before Christmas . Preorder/presave and new IHTB merch via link in bio. We've got a couple of exciting things planned over the next month to go along with the release – watch this space . Hope everyone is safe and well. Love Bombay xx
