Billy was great, but Rock City needs some more toilets. Only one toilet at the other side of a packed venue!

Billy Bragg, Rock City, Nottingham - 2nd December 2023
A night of great music and comment on the state of the world. Billy stays true to his beliefs and remains committed to making people think and act for good. It was a joy in dark times to see a hall full of people who think the same. Keep up the good work.

Billy Bragg, Usher Hall, Edinburgh - 28th November 2023
Billy Bragg performing a hat-trick of sold-out nights at Portsmouth's Wedgewood Rooms was nothing short of superb. Spanning his 42-year career, he played a mixture of early punky anthems from 'Life's A Riot' to the 80s classics from 'Brewing Up With Billy Bragg' and 'Talking With the Taxman About Poetry', 'Worker's Playtime' and 'Don't Try This At Home' from the 90s to the more recent 'Tooth and Nail'. The gigs were all at once astounding, uplifting, hilarious, passionate, emotional, empowering and just vital. And so very relevant in the UK's current worrying political climate. Billy was wonderful to watch - his easy banter with the crowd gathered laughs and guffaws and his political commentary was rousing and brought a fire to the belly, lifting us out of apathy. We laughed, we cried, we held his music in our hearts and sang with all our might, forming a true collective conscious. Just brilliant.

Billy Bragg, Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 7th July 2019
Great set list with a few different versions of songs. Banter between songs was typically politically charged. I found the experience quite emotional, given the current political climate and there was a great feeling of solidarity and a lot of love in the room for Billy x
