An Evening with Billy Bragg
| Date: | 20/10/2012 |
| Location: | Melbourne Recital Centre 31 Sturt St Melbourne Australia VIC 3006 |
| Details: | Rocker, troubadour, firebrand: for three decades, Billy Bragg has been the resolute voice of Britain’s political conscience. From his beginnings as an anti-Thatcher, folk-punk agitator, through to his elevation to pop poet laureate of the political left, Bragg has remained one of the most inspired and committed songwriters and musicians of his generation. To complement his Woody Guthrie tribute concert, this solo performance sees Bragg play a set of classics from his 12 studio albums, mixing it up with his trademark wry humour and wordplay. Join us at the barricades once more for an irreverent, rowdy and affecting show from a man who has defined the sound of modern protest music. [A] bolt of electricity, a threatening weapon, the sonic manifestation of furious emotional energy.’ – The Guardian (UK) ‘Billy Bragg has proven Britain's most consistently relevant social soundtracker. It’s Bragg’s humour and humanity that truly shine through, a genuine, everyman warmth that kills any accusations of worthiness dead.’ – NME (UK) More information & Box Office - Click Here |
