Billy Bragg

Saturday 26 August 2023

For Saturday night of Lyme Folk Weekend we welcome the UK’s foremost political singer-songwriter. After 13 studio albums, eight compilations, two box sets, and countless tours across countless international borders, the elder statesman of today, bearded and ‘ruggedly handsome’ (according to one Facebook fan), refuses to slip into the dotage of self-parody. In his fifties, neither the fight nor the fight songs have left Billy Bragg.

Orator, entertainer, rabble-rouser, negotiator, pamphleteer, the fabled ‘big-nosed bard from Barking’, Billy is many things. The one thing he will always be is wonderfully entertaining.
