Paul Heaton has announced a brand new solo album The Mighty Several, billed for an October 11 release.

Today's album announcement is accompanied by lead single ‘Fish ‘n’ Chip Supper’.

Produced by legendary producer Ian Broudie of the Lightning Seeds and recorded at Blueprint Studios in Salford, The Mighty Several will feature 12 new original songs, performed by Heaton,  his band and  a number of special guest singers.

Among the special guests is Heaton’s regular live vocalist Rianne Downey, as well as Yvonne Shelton and Danny Muldoon (all of whom are pictured on the album sleeve alongside Paul).

The Mighty Several will be available on October 11 on all digital platforms and on vinyl, CD and cassette.

The first single ‘Fish ‘N’ Chip Supper’, a typically bittersweet slice of kitchen sink drama set to a deliciously infectious anthemic pop groove written by Paul Heaton and guitarist Jonny Lexus, is available today.
