BILLY Bragg is touring his new album Bridges Not Walls, inspired by these divisive times and returns to The Brook for a sold out show on Tuesday.
Fresh from touring the world with Joe Henry and galvanised by political events, Billy Bragg is dealing with it in the best way he knows how, by strapping on his electric guitar and heading out on tour across the UK and Europe.
Billy, in one-man Clash mode, will perform songs from his 30 plus year career, some pertinent covers by his heroes and mentors and some freshly minted songs about the state of the world.
Billy Bragg has been a fearless recording artist, tireless live performer and peerless political campaigner for over three decades.
Support comes from Southampton favourite Seán McGowan. Raised on a diet of The Clash, The Jam, Specials, Billy Bragg and other such politically-charged, punk-ignited British pop, the troubadour has previously appeared on Billy Bragg’s Left Field stage at Glastonbury.
