Billy Bragg (2016 Event)

From ‘A New England’ to ‘Levi Stubbs’ Tears’, Billy Bragg’s songs
have captured the mood of modern Britain. Since politics and pop
became entwined in the anti-Thatcher Red Wedge movement of the
80s, Bragg’s voice has been synonymous with left-leaning
political sentiment – but his love songs chronicle a world more
profound than party politics. At the 2016 Book Festival, Bragg
presented A Lover Sings, an annotated collection of his
best-loved songs, which he discussed with Vic Galloway.
