Me, Morrissey & Manchester…
Just released in the UK is a great new film called ‘England is Mine’ that tells the story of Morrissey’s teenage years. As I’d played together with him in a band at the time I was invited to be involved as a consultant on the new film as well as providing some incidental music.
To co-incide with the release I’ve done an interview exclusively for www.billyduffy.comalongside actor Adam Lawrence who plays me in the film… and you can read it here…

Live Recording form 1982
Cherry Red Records have just released a great new box set of live Theatre of Hate recordings and it includes the original ‘He Who Dares Wins’ album recorded in Berlin in 1982 which was only my second ever show with the band and just a few weeks after I joined them.
If you’ve not already read it there’s an interview with me and singer Kirk Brandon where we talk about those days, including my memories of that show in the stories section of www.billyduffy.com here…

Brand New Competition
Despite occasionally using VOX amps throughout his career Billy only started using one as a permanent part of his backline in 2013. Since then the AC-30 combo has become a really important part of his live sound.
Recently VOX produced a shoulder bag modelled on that classic amp as a gift for their musicians and they have never been available to buy. Billy has teamed up with VOX to offer a chance to win one of these bags that he has signed in this exclusive www.billyduffy.com competition.

BD Merch Update
The recent release of the Signed Miniature Guitars was an incredible success and they all sold out in a couple of days. Also released at that time was these pewter Guitar Pick Pendants in an antique finish and featuring a double-sided design. One side is an embossed BD silhouette logo and the other is my signature embossed the same as on the metal plate on the headstock of my White Falcon. They come on an adjustable waxed cord fastening in a black velvet drawstring bag.
Available now here…
