Billy Bragg by Murdo McLeod
Billy Bragg has announced an extensive tour of the UK and Ireland during the autumn of 2021.
Cities such as Glasgow, Liverpool, Cardiff, Belfast, Dublin, Sheffield and Brighton will be visited over the course of more than a month next year assuming the UK has a live music scene to go back to, the dates set to close on November 27th at the London Roundhouse.
We caught Bragg live last year, finding him continuing the ‘good fight’: “A genial host, he regales us with tales from his past and seems genuinely upset when discussing Morrissey’s current travails,” the review reads.
“It’s rarely mentioned but he’s also a cracking guitarist, the electric strumming on Why We Build The Wall giving it a sinister undertone. Holding the attention of an audience for two hours as one man is no small feat, and the musicianship deserves equal credit.”
