Kate Nash And Billy Bragg - A New England/Foundations - NME 

A decade and a half of rewatching this. It’s my favourite version of New England. Incredible

Around 1981/82 I went with my friends to Danceteria in NYC. At some point during the night we made our way to the roof of the building and all of a sudden some English guy with a guitar starts playing this amazing song, A New England. It was Billy Bragg whom none of us had ever heard of and we were blown away. He was incredible. I’ll never forget that night.

"I saw two shooting stars last night and wished on them but they were only satellites, it's wrong to wish on space hardware, I wish, I wish you cared" is possibly one of the greatest lyrics in a love song ever

2023, kate Nash is still incredible, underrated and under played, the cribs are the best live band still and Billy Bragg is still a legend 🤲

This duet has added such a new and deeper dimension to the song. Absolutely stunning.

this is literally the most amazing thing ever. they are my two favourite singers ever. i was raised listening to billy bragg, and i also love kate nash's music. this is like my life put into one.

Great song, Kate Nash's voice really adds something to it.

2 Classic Songs. Billy is a legend to our generation.

Wow, best performance of the 30 years I've loved this song. Didn't those decades go by quickly???⏳

great collaboration - love how the female/male perspectives on ending bad relationships blend here. Well done.

Kates voice complements Billys so well. This is poetry in motion.

I think my dad would have liked this as much as I do.

Brilliant, absolutely! Great duet,how can anyone not love this ,get some taste..

Totally cool. Kate Nash puts a brilliant twist on a classic.

That just gave me goosebumps..... Awesome!

I was 21 years when I wrote this song I'm 22 now but I wont be for long✌🏻 what a track

billy is simply brilliant and kate nash is good as well. anything billy does is amazing it does not matter if it's music or politics. I always love billy.

First time I watched that .... & they both bossed it! Saw Billy in the 80’s on the Red Wedge tour. Some things never grow old ..... “I don’t want to change the world I’m just looking for a New England”. Don’t even get me started on politics. I’m up for feeding hungry children. But children - my friends- were hungry in the 80’s in the north east during the miners strike. Glad this song never loses it’s relevance.......

Pretty well done. An unusual combination, but it works. New England will never get old.

There needs to be a studio version of this duet

The irony is that I was looking for "A New England" when I found this.

Kate Nash - Billy Brag Some things should never happen. That clearly wasn't one of them. Brilliant.

Great to see a younger generation share a billy brag masterpiece. I ffff luved it

Love this Video - like the lyrics they compliment each other so well and come over as authentically genuine!!!

WOW. Amazing! I'd love to see this live anywhere!

Fantastic!! Thanks for posting!!

what a brilliant duet,thankyou for uploading

I must listen to this atleast twice a week, pretty much my ultimate song 🦉👍🙏❤️

It's nice to see a father and daughter getting on so well together.

A real life love song 😞 fantastic duet!

Thanks for posting this, excellent

Wow. Great collaboration Billy Brag is great and so is Kate Nash.

Not sure how I hadn't seen this in the decade since it was uploaded, but glad I found it by chance today.

Billy Bragg, ladies and gentle man. Legend.

ahhhh I can't stop watching this!

Had Billy's first album on tape back in the day. What a class collaboration

This is wonderful, how did i ever miss it :-(

When I watch this I feel like I am in heaven.

Love this odd mix of songs and voices! Regarding the dislike of the accents by brits its kust stupid cause its thier greatest selling point 👌

that's my favourite part too because she giggles abit there and the music cuts out for a while then comes back in again after; it works well.

I now absolutely love Kate Nash between this and GLOW. I've loved Billy Bragg since a child.

How can you not like this song? He's so fascinating. this Kate Nash is a great compliment.

Both are such great artists

I was 21 when I wrote this song - now I'm 22 but I won't be for long. insanely deep lyric

Wow... pleasant surprise. Billy & Kate's voices work so well together on the chorus.

This was wonderful, Billy and katey

nice combination. two legends, well legends in my eyes

It sooo rocks'. In memory of 1995 and mad times ... Stay wild, babe. und definitiv, wenn du in England bist schau vorbei !!!

i fucking loved this version! i think kate's actually a good singer. maybe not in the classic term, but i love her tones! and a new england is just bloody fantastic. 5stars

Absolutely outstanding performance

Awe reminds me of Kirsty Maccoll.

This is my favorite thing ever.

Dunno why but this moved me to tears

Still love this version of both now

awsome song. love this version

Epic version and recording!

Just seeing the title of this made me like Kate Nash.. I'ma watch it once it loads...

amazing.....

She is awesome!

love them both

God I Love This SONG!!!

What an amazing match-up, Kate Nash and Billy Bragg, who would believe it?!

shes sooo cutte!!!!

Oh my, both of them are even better live.

This is great on a couple of different levels. I hadn't heard Kate Nash before this , but both Kate, and the girl in the song, seem the perfect match for Bill and the guy in The Saturday Boy, or Shirley. That's why I like this pairing up so much.

and i think he misses Kirsty as much as i do

i would definatly buy this if it were released as a single. Billy and kate are brilliant together!

id love to see this live

Great Duet and choice of song. I wish they sang the "Kirsty" verse at the end of A New England. My dreams were full of strange ideas My mind was set despite your fears But other things got in the way I never asked that boy to stay Once upon a time at home I sat beside the telephone Waiting for someone to pull me through When at last it didn't ring I knew it wasn't you

This is fabulous❤

Billy Bragg is amazinggg !!

Quem me dera cantar uma música com esta miuda, uma verdadeira doçura e o acento é de derreter.

i just noticed i have to smile when SHE smiles too :o

best ever compilation of 2songs

completely agree...she is absolutely breathtaking, f**k she's gorgeous!!!

I love you Billy.......

And kirsty almost certainly wouldn't have a problem with this collabiration.

wow this is just brilliant!

two very talented artists.....viva la revolution

this should be recorded and released, please.

Stupendous!

Unlike most of the other posts here, I really like this mix and think that their voices work really well together.

wow love the accent both of them are great nice
