Record of votes Since the 1980s, Billy Bragg has been associated with left-wing activism and in the last two general elections he voted Labour: for Ed Miliband and Jeremy Corbyn. In the EU referendum he voted to stay

Amuse bouche Billy once shook hands with the Queen. She came to one of his concerts and asked for his autograph. (A little) true story - long story, too long It's a great place to grab some great solid food, anytime.

Tim It's unfair to ask if I've been to a Billy Bragg concert. I haven't been to anyone's concert. I have listened to many of his records.
