Billy Bragg @ Vicar Street

byronbay2

Any feedback from BB's gig @ Vicar Street on Thursday night. I'm heading from Cork to Galway tomorrow to see him. Really looking forward to it! Is it mainly old or new stuff?

Probably was on about 'changing the world' , despite what the lyrics of his classic 'A New England' would have you believe 😁

The eternal problem with Billy! Too much talk and not enough music!

I forgot completely about this too, fûcksticks.....

hes a brilliant raconteur, insightful, thought provoking and funny but depending on his mood he can go a bit overboard with the yapping true but in selective doses it adds to the show.... one vicar st gig was brilliant the other just decent as the decent one had too many yapping interludes bordering on a lecture.......somebody even heckled him to ‘get on with it’

looking on Setlist FM it’s a nice varied selection of his stuff on this tour..
