Summary
Billy Bragg has been a fearless recording artist, tireless live performer, and peerless political campaigner for over 30 years. Among the former Saturday boy's albums are his punk-charged debut Life's a Riot with Spy Vs Spy, the more love-infused Workers Playtime, pop classic Don't Try This at Home, the Queen's Golden Jubilee-timed treatise on national identity England, Half-English, and his stripped-down tenth, Tooth & Nail, his most successful since the early ‘90s. The intervening three decades have been marked by a number one hit single, having a street named after him, being the subject of a South Bank Show, appearing onstage at Wembley Stadium, curating Left Field at Glastonbury, sharing spotted dick with a Cabinet minister in the House of Commons cafeteria, being mentioned in Bob Dylan's memoir, and meeting the QueenBy turns melancholic and mirthful, poignant and polemical, trenchantly observant and introspective, The Million Things That Never Happened is a mature reflective statement by an artist in his mid-60s still fully and creatively engaged with the world
