Billy Bragg is a British singer-songwriter from Barking, who emerged in the early 1980s as a solo performer combining stripped-back punk energy with politically charged songs and love songs. He became a folk hero in Thatcher-era Britain, and was often described as a one-man Clash. His albums of the mid-1980s expanded from a lone electric guitar to a full band sound, and included collaborations with Johnny Marr and Kirsty MacColl. Songs such as Levi Stubbs' Tears and There Is Power in a Union remain among his best-known work. His music sits between rock, folk and independent pop, and he is known for mixing live performance with political commentary. Online he shares news of his reissues, tours and festival appearances.
