    I saw his live show tonight in aid of 'Hope Not Hate'. Incredible guy, powerful gutsy music.

    Hi Loz

    I've got a bit of his stuff - Don't Try This At Home is the album that gets most play.

    There's a song on that album called God's Footballer - it's a about the footballer (soccer) named Peter Knowles who gave up a professional career with Wolverhampton Wanderers to become a Witness. Knowle's life story is in the Awake 8 November 1979.

    Yep, massive fan of Mr. Bragg. I missed him in NZ about 20 years ago.

    I often sing Here Comes Richard or Milkman of Human Kindess in the toilet, sounds really good. Frightens the family though....

    BTW, from memory, Peter Knowles is the brother of the more famous Cyril. Great footballer
