MY LIFE STORY CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF JOINED UP TALKING

Following the success of My Life Story's 2024 album 'Loving You Is Killing Me', Mr Jake Shillingford is back once again!

This time celebrating the 25th anniversary of My Life Story’s 'Joined Up Talking' with a special edition re-release.

The band’s third album was written as a lyrical time capsule of the millennium, but musically proves to be anything but vintage.

Remastered for 2025, the album is finally available on vinyl for the first time.

A double coloured 12" gatefold with B-sides, plus a triple CD bells-and-whistles collection containing never heard before demos and rarities from the era.

You can pre-order your copy and more by clicking the button below.

And the year will round off with a dual-set tour featuring 'Joined Up Talking' performed in full for the first time in 25 years, plus a barnstorming set of My Life Story anthems.

A limited number of tickets are still available for shows at Dingwalls, London, on Friday 5th December, as well as in Brighton, Manchester and Kendal.

To whet your appetite for the critically acclaimed live shows, check out this video from last year’s gig at the 100 Club in London performing ‘Running out of Heartbeats’ from their last  album ‘Loving You Is Killing Me’.
