Billy Bragg at Shrewsbury Folk Festival 2023 

How sad the comments on here are! If you don't like him what are you doing searching him out on RU-vid?

For those who would like to know. Billy Bragg is one of the most insightful, introspective, concerning of our world and the things that live on it....and the things that are happening to it. As well as us.

I’ve seen BB about 50 times. Part of my life.

Outstanding. My number one influence.

Billy Bragg is great. A fantastic songwriter and a great campaigner. We need more like him, if that were possible. Magic.

poncing on working class struggles from years gone by could only appeal to champagne socialists

Great set. Need to see you live 😊

These Woody Guthrie Songs are so great, so great!

Still got it comrade

My cringeometer is off scale, I'm sure after Billy's set things got better..😅

Great set.

I saw him in London in December. He was absolutely inspirational, he is a great musician but is also a powerful political orator. Everyone in that crowd left at the end of the night fired up to fight Facism and do good for their fellow man. If he can convert people one audience at a time then that’s more than most politicians will ever do.

dude sold out.

how dare he pontificate about women

the problem with this DEI direction in Billy Bragg's work is that it deploys identity antagonisms and loses sight of the unversalist perspective that alone makes emancipatory politics real - it's of a piece with postmodern micropolitics and pseudo-Gramscian hegemony contests - victim politics - which is why there's so much the fist-shaking. this is a liberal-left politics of the petty-bourgeois professional-managerial class

Billy you never were pretty or relevant

I had no idea who he is. The first 16 min is full of blah, blah, blah. The music is full of blah, blah, blah. What a waste of time.

Plastic politician with a guitar every so called song the same boring fart imagine paying to see him 😂

Too much politics not enough music

Boring.
