Description He was a punk.
He was a soldier.
He was a flag-waver for both the Labour Party and the miners.
He is Billy Bragg, best known as a passionate protest folk singer and a tireless promoter of political and humanitarian causes all across the world.
Billy's life encapsulates so much about his generation: born in the late '50s, passions forged by punk, politics shaped by Thatcherism, hope provided by the end of the Cold War and ideology galvanized by what he sees as a pos.
