Description
Billy Bragg: A Life of Passion and Purpose Billy Bragg's life is a testament to the power of passion and purpose. Born in the late 1950s, he was forged in the punk movement and shaped by the politics of Thatcherism. As a singer, songwriter, and tireless promoter of social justice, he has been a constant voice for compassion and accountability. This updated 20th anniversary edition of his official biography, Still Suitable for Miners, takes readers on a journey from his childhood in Barking to the present day, tracing his life, family, and career with remarkable candour. From his early days as a flag-waver for the Labour Party and the miners, to his reclamation of skiffle and forays into Americana, Bragg's story is one of adaptability and resilience. With the rise of Corbyn and the unfolding of Brexit, this edition has been updated to reflect the changing world around him. A fascinating and insightful look at a life lived with conviction and purpose.
