Billy Bragg is a lovely chap.
He's got the strongest Essex boy accent and enjoys telling joke after joke. The crowd enjoys - whether he's talking about hipsters, eating a puffin ("it tasted like eating a penguin"), Portland, Oregon, Brexit or Woody Guthrie.
He's such a natural storyteller it's almost impossible to resist him.
But he is also amazing at being a musician and, when he's playing some Woody Guthrie, this lovely old chap turns into a prophetic spirit of our time. It's a good show. A raw, simple show that makes you think. Chapeau.
