The folkie who, together with Wilco, dusted off a few unknown Woodie Guthrie treasures.
The man who wrote gems like: Valentine’s Day, The Man In The Iron Mask, Levi Stubbs’ Tears of Swallow My Pride (by the way, check out his entire oeuvre, you won't regret it).
The socialist protest-singer who can make love-songs like no other.
One of the best post-war British songwriters (after Morrissey and Joe Strummer, of course!)
The fifty-something who just released one of the better albums of 2013.
As you can see, Billy Bragg is difficult to capture in just a few words but you have to admit that he's pedigree performer.
On November 4 he'll be returning to the AB again (after a 9 year absence) to present his latest album there and probably also play a number of classics from his 30 year long solo career too.
Have you always wanted to ask him what the point of mixing pop & politics is (‘Waiting for the great leap forwards’), what ‘I’m more impressionable when my cement is wet’ (‘Greetings to the new brunette’) really means or how he has managed to remain relevant for almost 3 decades?
Come on down to Huis23 where Billy Bragg will be interviewed by Michaël Robberechts - radio-maker (Radio1), music-lover, Bragg-fan, and one of the finest male voices of our public broadcast radio - on November 4th at 6:00pm. After the interview there will be time for an audience Q&A.
