In Studio: Billy Bragg

Soundcheck | Jul 22, 2011

Since the late 70s, Billy Bragg has been the folk-punk conscience of the UK. If you need the phone-hacking scandal explained in song, he’s your man. (He wrote and posted such a song last weekend.) And he joined us to play the very song "Never Buy The Sun" live in our studio.

See Billy Bragg perform on July 27th, 2011 at Lincoln Center Out Of Doors. More information here.
