Billy Bragg

Billy Bragg has been described by The Times newspaper as a 'national treasure'. In the two and a half decades of his career Bragg has certainly made an indelible mark on the conscience of British music, becoming perhaps the most stalwart guardian of the radical dissenting tradition that stretches back over centuries of the country's political, cultural and social history. Bragg's stark musical backdrop; for the most part a roughly strummed electric guitar and stark vocals belie a keen sense of melody and passionate, deeply humane lyrics. His songs are full of passion, anger and wit, a 'one man Clash' as he has been described and as well as being infused with genuine insight and humour, Bragg’s work has a sustained and personal commitment to political and humanitarian issues.
