Stop the BNP with new Hope Not Hate A13 T shirt 02/03/10
A new T-shirt inspired by Billy's song A13: Trunk Road to the Sea is on sale now to help raise money for the anti-BNP Hope Not Hate campaign.

Philosophy Football's A13 shirt also takes its inspiration from Cable Street in Whitechapel, London - close to where the A13 road begins - where the British Union of Fascists was stopped from marching in 1936.

The A13 goes on to Dagenham and Barking - Billy's home town where the far-right BNP have been making inroads. Hope Not Hate campaigners, including Billy, will be aiming to stop the BNP's progress there in the General Election.

The shirt is available from the Philosophy Football website at a special campaign price of £14.99. Sizes are small to XXL standard fit, and women's skinny rib.

Alf Ramsey Knew My Grandfather24/02/10
Alf Ramsey Knew My Grandfather, a play about the West Auckland football team which won the first world cup in 1909, transfers to the Newcastle Theatre Royal from 11-15 May 2010.

It's written by Ed Waugh and Trevor Wood who wrote Maggie's End, which features music by Billy. Ed and Trevor have been a staunch fans of BB for many years.

If you didn't catch it in London last year, Maggie's End is playing at the Pomegranate Theatre, Chesterfield, from 2-6 March 2010.

It's a black comedy imagining what would happen when former prime minister Margaret Thatcher dies.
