It Says Here - Billy Bragg on Breakfast TV

One of the reasons I applied to be a musician was because my careers officer told me that they don’t have to do mornings. So getting up at 5am to do Breakfast TV was a bit of a wrench, but then I did get to play ‘It Says Here’ live on national tv so result!

Can you imagine any musician who voices their opinion being allowed to perform on breakfast TV these days?!?

[@MIMIEUXMIMIEUXMIMIEUX]

Yes

[@princedevianrosberg]

Yes

He was on breakfast tv earlier this week promoting his new tour.

[@lordbored2706]

@@johnwilson9328 Did he say anything about the genocide? Asking for a friend whose faith in artists is waning. I'm that friend

Still moves me 40 years later. More relevant than ever. Sad we have regressed

[@paulstokes393]

What an awesome song to be performed on breakfast telly! Brewing Up is in my top 10 albums of my life, it never gets old

[@FatCatFanatic]

Fantastic stuff! How little things have changed since then. 😢

[@englishsteve1465]

Not only have things not changed, they've regressed, we've gone backwards since people were sold a rose tinted view of our supposed glorious past and the old, the uninformed and the desperate for change voted to have their rights taken away by a tory party pushed further right than ever before by the likes of Farage because "it can't be any worse can it" - Yes, it bloody well can and it bloody well IS ffs ! Sigh smh

[@Bashkir097]

I'm not much for nostalgia but as others have already said, this on breakfast TV??!!? Wow.

We apologise if anyone was offended by the word "tits" said the female presenter after song finished 😳

It says here, freedom of speech is making a comeback! 😎

[@shauntaylor9251]

Little bit of politics from a singer on breakfast telly ? How many complaints would that get now ?

[@Lyndanet]

Musicians just sing about food and fornicating with dogs now a days it’s gross.

[@alastairmacgregor3529]

Cant believe they let him on kept of a generation before Matt McGinn. The establishment usually very good at keeping off the air the truth

[@earlyburg]

Old school.

Muito bom post , Sensacional

[@BillFroog]

Noice.

[@pauljones651]

Strange how sensibilities change. Can't imagine any young person wanting to sing about such things now, let alone finding a considerable audience who would listen. And on any tv morning show? Not that the spirit of youthful rebellion has gone, but it just seems more concerned with identity and sex. Oh, and twerking - very much concerned with twerking.

[@bennyhillschineseblokechar3689]

Disgusting, saying "tits" at breakfast time Billy!

[@lordbored2706]

Billy when are you going to say something about the genocide unfolding in Palestine? Gaza Your Waters Run Red
