About this item

We’re pleased to announce that Billy Sullivan’s solo debut album ‘Paper Dreams’ will be released 10th March 2023 on Kickstart Recordings. Including singles ‘Overcome’, ‘I Will Follow’ and the blistering ‘Running Out Of Time’.

Recorded over just three days in Coastal Sound recording studios in Liverpool, ‘Paper Dreams’ is Sullivan’s first collection of songs since the demise of former band The Spitfires.

“I can only really compare each album to the previous one” Sullivan says regarding the new album. “The last Spitfires record ‘Play For Today’ was so thought out. From the sound concept to the subject matters of the lyrics. Every tiny detail was planned and poured over and then of course debated. However ‘Paper Dreams’ was completely natural - a collection of songs that me and Simon Dine just wrote for fun without it being an album or us particularly working towards anything at first. September 2021 to January 2022 were lost months for me and I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. I suppose these songs paved the way and made the decision for me”
