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

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

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.
