Billy Bragg - Mastertapes

John Wilson interviewing Billy Bragg about his third Studio Album “Talking With The Taxman About Poetry”. Recorded in front of a live audience at the BBC's iconic Maida Vale Studios on the 5th of November 2012.

'Talking With The Taxman About Poetry' - Having discussed the making of his self-proclaimed 'difficult' third album, Billy Bragg responds to questions from the audience. He considers the state of protest songs today, reveals what music he is writing at the moment and explains what poetry he would discuss with today's taxman. And he plays excerpts from the album live in front of the audience.
