Billy Bragg | The Roaring Forty | 1983-2023

Order 'The Roaring Forty' from the official store: bbragg.lnk.to/theroaringforty
"The frustration of seeing nothing that spoke to me on Top Of The Pops in the early 80's made me realise if I wanted to hear music that had something to say about the state of the world and real life, I’d have to make it myself. 18 months later I recorded my first LP.
To mark the 40th anniversary of Life’s A Riot with Spy vs Spy, I’ve compiled a number of commemorative releases that trace the arc of my career since those fateful Thursday nights."
Available on 1LP Orange Vinyl, 3LP Green Vinyl, Super Deluxe Box Set, Deluxe 2CD, as well as Signed Test Pressings.

God I love Billy’s music Grew up with it in the 80s With the smiths The Housemartins Didn’t listen to anything else I also love the fact that Billy has Stayed true to his word and politics Apparently he still lives in his flat in Romford and lets illegal Iraqi immigrants live in his spare room also clothes and feeds them. Fair play to you brother 🙏
