3. Grime of the Times
Billy Bragg concludes his look at great moments where musicians were inspired by unfolding events to protest, to perform and to preach of an alternative way.
These are fractious times. But there have been fractious times before. Of all the ways of looking at history, the instinctive reactions of musicians to changing times, is one of the most fascinating.
From Hamish Henderson to Stormzy, protest music has come a long way.
In this programme, Billy Bragg takes time to savour and share the stories of great moments where musicians were inspired by unfolding events to protest, to perform and to preach of an alternative way. Billy is joined by Dorian Lynskey, Kirsty Fairclough and others.
