Recorded at the Barbican in early February, Billy Bragg hosts a spectacular concert dedicated to songs of social engagement and commentary. From the radical folk protest of luminaries such as Ewan McColl to the more contemplative songs on the role of the individual in society.

Special guests include English folk legend Martin Carthy, Scottish stalwart Dick Gaughan, Maggie Holland and singer-songwriter Robb Johnnson.
