I've always liked Billy Bragg. He has a wonderful way of putting things into a song that you just wouldn't expect from anyone else. The song below was written on Friday 8th July 2011 and performed live for the first time at the Garforth Arts Festival on Saturday 9th July 2011 and the video was shot in his dressing room prior to his performance.
