Billy Bragg and Tom have an in depth chat about Bills career to date, interspersed with some of his definitive tracks. In a fascinating conversation, Billy tells all sorts of tales, including how a mushroom biriani helped him get his first Peel play, and how blagging he was a TV repairman got him a manager! He talks through all of his albums, from his debut which was made for free, through his chart successes at the end of the 80s into the early 90s, his Woody Guthrie project, and how his influences have evolved in the new millenium.
