Billy Bragg

The big nosed bard of Barking

Billy Bragg is also Essex born and bred. Known affectionately as “the bard of Barking”, Billy has for over 20 years expertly married folk, punk, poetry and politics in his unrelenting and powerful music. Unafraid of courting controversy, Billy has sided with a number of grass roots political movements while being an unashamedly outspoken opponent of fascism, racism, bigotry, sexism and homophobia.
