Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon debuted new Blur's song 'Under the Westway'
Two days before performing at the Brit Awards (Tuesday, February 21st), Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon unveiled a brand new Blur song during a short gig in London last night, Sunday February 19th. Titled "Under The Westway", the piano-led track brought the duo's three-song set to a close at War Child's pre-Brit Awards fundraiser at O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire.
'Under The Westway' is the first new material to be aired by the band since "Fool's Day", which was released as a limited edition vinyl and download as part of Record Store Day in 2010. Introducing the song, Albarn revealed it had been "written up the road from here a few weeks ago" before joking about the gig's headliner Ed Sheeran. He said: "It's got a lot of words - for me anyway - but not as many as Ed Sheeran has." Take a listen to Blur's new song below:
