[@emmacresswell7012]

@@paddyjamieson5877 and Phil Jupiter is also in the video, he’s doing backing vocals on this.

[@underwaterathlete7217]

He knows exactly what to do with his hands. He's feeling the music he wrote and that his incredibly beautiful and talented friend brought to life. Brilliant, Billy Bragg, as always!

[@davidlyons6341]

True.

[@kerryobryant139]

Pure class, Billy Bragg. Bravo.

[@WeazelJaguar]

Ten/Ten/Ten, very fitting for a great artist, Kirsty, who will always be a TEN!

[@anthonybrady-lb5ve]

Yes me too. I cant wait for my 8cd Kirsty Mac Coll boxed set. Thats what you call respect. May it bring her the publicity she long desetves😢❤❤❤❤

[@julian_b]

I would loved to have been there. This is one of those magic moments.

[@petergibbs6039]

billy Bragg is not hard up for a few quid, but he does make an effort to help poorer people get the wage they deserve, most others do nothing

[@xtrofilm]

Billy you are a force of nature mate.

[@davidbeard90]

Lol.

[@scotteckert3110]

fuck, makes me tear up.......

[@2011williamandkate]

[@dghdavies]

Burton Bradstock salutes the million millionaire Billy Bragg, yarp.

[@cfcheadhunter420]

hes got phil jupitus as a backing singer too

[@scopex2749]

Who is playing the opening riff in this and where can I find tabs please?

[@Maddybreenofficial]

i've figured it out in open chord shapes in the key of g.

[@scottswarbrick]

@caseyliveknight Because he's used to playing it on guitar.

[@trevorwright9801]

Rip kirsty

[@caseyliveknight]

Man, he just does not know what to do with his hands!!

[@jehugo66]

Time Travel....

[@annlombardi1]

below me.

[@Maddybreenofficial]

Is that Phil Jupitus on Bv's?

[@Drink8AceDrink]

Indeed it is. Phill was also the compare for the evening

[@uttoxeter1001]

@caseyliveknight probably because he is without his guitar poor bloke

[@bowquin]

He is just English:)

[@mickavoidant4780]

What do you mean tribute? He wrote it for himself.

[@Drink8AceDrink]

"A Tribute To Kirsty MacColl" was the name of the show, Mick. Hence the description "Billy Bragg performs his classic "New England" at A Tribute To Kirsty MacColl live at the Shepherds Bush Empire 10/10/2010". I've a playlist from the show with several other acts singing songs that Kirsty made famous: kzbin.info/aero/PLB18377CB558158FF

[@mickavoidant4780]

Okay, fair enough. I was wrong.

[@jehugo66]

Mick Grant And then he wrote an extra verse for her after she'd invited him to have breakfast with her at her home.

[@ludekfierlinger4156]

​@@jehugo66seemingly she wrote the extra verse.or that's the version I heard first😊

[@jamestunbridge7496]

@@ludekfierlinger4156 no, bill wrote the extra verse, he said so in an interview.

[@audible67]

The irony is your misinterpretation based on your inadequate understanding of the the positions and then yammering on like your opinion based on said misinterpretation means anything.

[@tardcore4life]

for the love of jeebus, give the guy a guitar so he can stop waiving his arms around like Richard Simmons....

[@RRPounder]

Why are they doing a fun raiser for Cuba? They have free health care for crying out loud!

[@Chrisdavies33]

It’s to quick …..needs to be slower

[@audible67]

ah, one of those everything is black or white types, eh? more boring that trolls...

[@audible67]

No you're not. Billy Bragg despises people who work very hard and have nice homes? nah. He despises successful people who champion social (not necessarily socialist) causes? nah. You would have a point if you picked someone who actually resembled what you're ranting on about. As it stands, the only thing you're pointing out is your own thick-headedness and envy. maybe if you use even more exclamation points your argument will be more convincing...

[@desallen2174]

He may have written this song but, this pathetic offering is an insult to Kirsty. Sure is not a tribute. She deserved better.

[@geordiejen]

is he pissed?got a bit of a beer belly.never seen him before without a guitar.this is terrible.

[@emmacresswell7012]

geordiejen the man is in his 50s what do you expect a bit of middle age spread never hurt anyone he still looks good howay pet give him a break xx
