Billy Bragg

Billy Bragg: A People's History

Billy will be joining us to reflect on his long career to mark the publication Billy Bragg - A Peoples History, an authorised oral history of the British singer-songwriter and political activist in the words of people who have been moved by his music.

Whether singing about love in ‘A New England’, domestic violence in ‘Levi Stubbs Tears’ or political activism in ‘There is Power in a Union’, Billy Bragg has been inspiring fans through his music and sparking political debate with his opinions for more than 40 years.

With memorabilia from Billy’s personal archive and contributions from the man himself, Billy Bragg – A People’s History will span Billy’s career in music, from his days with the punk-inspired Riff Raff through to the present day.

This event will take place in Westlands Ballroom.
