Off to see Billy Bragg on Saturday in Cardiff. Anyone else got a far left folk singer as a guilty pleasure or is it just me!!!!

After some wasteful capitalist spending in Cardiff City Centre on shite I don’t need, I’ll be ready for some good old fashioned fascist and Maggie bashing come the evening

Leon Rosselson is my favourite far left folk singer. Most famous for n 60s and 70s…not sure he still alive. Must be great age if is.

He wrote A New England which is an all time great song IMO, though best performed by Kirsty McColl

Nope, I'll be in Hull on Saturday reminding me why Maggie hated the North

We'll always need people like Billy while this type of fascism exists!!

I was always a fan of between the wars. He did a great song about the iceberg for a commemorative album for the titanic a few years back.

Great song....and very clever that it also worked when switched around to be sung from the female perspective.

I loved his first 3 albums.....the first 2 in particular were very much part of my political awakening as a youngster........although I've not really paid much attention to him or his output since the early 90s.

He was a fantastic lyricist...some of his songs from the 80s & early 90s read even better as poetry.

"The Home Front" for example is right up there with Larkin & Thomas imho.

Yeah… pretty much where I am. Loved his Union stuff.

Handyman Blues is great song off one of his recent albums.

Video is good with a load of comedians in it.
