Patrick Jones on tour with Billy Bragg

Poet Patrick Jones is currently supporting Billy Bragg on his Miner's Strike 25th Anniversary Tour.

Twenty five years on, Billy Bragg arrives in Wales on a special 8-date solo tour to remember the Miners’ Strike and its legacy on the communities across Wales.

Ex-punk, ex-soldier, and ex-member of the Labour Party, Billy Bragg rose from working class origins in the 1980s to become one of the UK’s foremost pop and protest singers and left-wing icons. A rebel in every sense, Bragg is best-known for his passionately political lyrics, but also admired for his offbeat love songs. This unique man continues to prove that music still has something to say about political causes, and, thank goodness, has a sense of humour.
