The Fratellis - Celebrating 20 Years of Costello Music

Since then, they’ve remained a fixture in British guitar music, building a loyal live following and releasing six studio albums — most recently Drunk Under a Full Moon (2021), a bold mix of singalongs and lush orchestration that hit the UK top three. A deluxe edition followed in 2022 with eight bonus tracks.
