Billy Bragg Announces New Album & Shares New Single

Billy Bragg has announced that his 10th studio album ‘The Million Things That Never Happened’ will be released on October 8th via Cooking Vinyl.

Alongside the announcement, Billy Bragg has also released the first taster from the album ‘I Will Be Your Shield’. Billy Bragg says, “To me [I Will Be Your Shield] is the heart and soul of the album. I’ve come to the conclusion that empathy is the currency of music – that our job as songwriters is to help people come to terms with their feelings by offering them examples of how others may have dealt with a situation similar to that in which listeners find themselves. After what we’ve all been through, the idea of being a shield, physically, emotionally, psychologically, really resonates”.

Leading up to the release, an online concert experience exploring the music and mind of Billy Bragg will be streamed on the Stabal platform on Thursday 9th September. Pre-order the album from the official store for access to discounted early bird tickets.
