Last four gigs. Rudimental at Brixton, 1 hour 30 mins(very good). Paul weller, 1 hour 35 mins Hammersmith (worst I've ever heard him). Jake Bugg, 1 hour 20 mins Brixton (very good). What happened to on at 9, blast 'till 10.30'sh, off for a fag/drink or whatever back for another 30 mins? Last night in London Billy Bragg ........2 hours 25 mins. At last.......some decent time spent on stage. That's more like it ...............Or is it me? |

I'm happy with a footie type gig - 90 mins - little break then a 15 minute penalty shoot out. |

Billy is great live, saw him last Thursday. Loads of chat, very funny and warm, great songs. He was in stage from 8:30 til nearly 11 and it flew over. |

Billy is great on-stage company, intelligent and funny and as H says, has a great band. And I think he's getting better as he gets older. Tooth and Nail is a great album and the album before it, Mr Love & Justice, is beautiful. He plays with Robert Wyatt on the opening track, I Keep Faith, and it's just lovely. I always think of him as a soul singer – obviously he doesn't have the voice of Marvin or Otis but he has the soul of a soul singer, if that doesn't sound too up its own arse. My all time favourite is Saturday Boy which, as a teenager, I always thought could've been written about me, although I am obviously not a boy. Contains what could arguably be one of the best lines from a British songwriter (discuss??): She danced with me and I still hold that memory Soft and sweet And I stare up at her window As I walk down her street But I never made the first team, I just made the first team laugh And she never came to the phone She was always in the bath Genius. x |

Oh the heartbreak of the Saturday Boy..... 'In the end it took me a dictionary to find out the meaning of 'unrequited' While she was giving herself for free at a party to which I was never invited' |

This is one Billy Bragg gig I wished I'd seen (sorry, I can't do the You Tube paste either). Got tickets for Hammersmith Apollo though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69s_ptJxx6E |
