Legend @billybragg on There’s Power in a Union “It’s not a nostalgic song. It’s not looking back. It’s connecting with something that’s happening now. You don’t just put it into a set for the old time’s sake, you put it in because it’s relevant.”

Billy Bragg mourns lack of musicians singing about issues of working people

Billy Bragg has said there are no longer many musicians singing about the issues of working people but there is no excuse for him not to stay relevant.
