Greater things were still to come but the jewel in the crown, of this album, remains their iconic track, Belfast. Hasn't lost it's beauty over the years much like the city itself ♥️

Nadhim Zahawi and family fled to the UK from Saddam Hussein's Iraq as a child refugee in 1978. Unable to speak English when he arrived, he became a hugely successful businessman and an MP before serving as Chancellor of the Exchequor.
His origin story is the very antithesis of the Reform narrative.

The night before the album was released Suede played the Limelight in Belfast and I was lucky enough to be there, the one and only time I seen them live. A band chomping at the bit with a demonic Brett swinging the mic lead as if his life depended on it 🔥
