Hello! If Iโ€™d actually added a video embedded like Diana asked (argh, too much too fast) it would have been Never Buy The Sun! (But I canโ€™t win the tickets so nvm.)

We missed out on tickets and I'm kicking myself! It's hard to pick from all my faves on Talking with the Taxman About Poetry but I think I would pick The Marriage. There is something so charmingly subversive about wailing "so drag me to the altar..." ๐Ÿ˜†

Thank you for this article. Good stuff happening in London.

Billy Bragg is a gem. It is hard to choose one song, but I'd have go with Island of no return is up there for me.

Oh man, the entirety of the Mermaid Avenue albums are forever favourites. But "Ingrid Bergman" is such a special gem.

I gotta go listen to Mermaid Avenue right now!

I was one of those people who waited too long to buy tickets and then they sold out. My favorite Billy Bragg song is Which Side Are You On? (But Accident waiting to happen is in my head right now)

Cliche I know but my favourite is still "A New England".

I don't think it's cliche at all, and I almost embedded that video. Favourite version is with Kirsty MacColl (RIP).

Oh yes! I meant it was an obvious choice... not a cliche song!

Got it! Also you are the winner of the draw! I contacted you yesterday, but by chat here so realized you may not have gotten it. Please contact me by chat ASAP with your email address so I can send you the tickets!
