Career

Both achieved their commercial breakthrough with the Del Amitri project; seven studio albums and a number of radio hits were created in the 80s and 90s . Since 2002 Justin Currie has mainly dedicated himself to his solo career. So far, four solo albums with songs he wrote himself have been released, What is Love for? (2007), The Great War (2010), Lower Reaches (2013) and This Is My Kingdom Now (2017).
