Episode 6: Taxman

December 22nd, 2006 by Administrator | Posted in Podcasts |

Johnny Marr and John Porter help Billy find a slicker style of production in the studio as he writes and records the material for Talking With The Taxman About Poetry. The peerless Kirsty MacColl, who had already scored a hit with a pop version of A New England, contributes backing vocals. And a song called Levi Stubbs’ Tears establishes Billy’s versatility as a songwriter.

    Hi Billy.

    Just wanted to say I was front row at the Hackney gig sitting with a mate of mine I belive you know quite well Mel Gomez. Just wanted to say it was one of the best gig’s I have been to in a Long time . Sang my heart out at the end to new england that was amazing.

    Just got my signed copy of your book started reading it this Morning.

    I will be in your native Barking on Jan the 23rd as the team I support are playing Barking in a cup game at least the football team can not be controled buy the BNP in barking .

    Keep up the good work Bill and I lookforward to the next gig.

    Andy .

    I’m sorry to ask a rather unrelated question but I’m wondering Bill if you have any other songs like There is power in a union I love this song. I would really love to hear some if so. Also do you do a political podcast? Thats how I heard the song in the first place. Anyhow I hope you stop by Ann Arbor or Ypsilanti Michigan sometime soon I’d like to check out your show .
