LateRooms.com - Billy Bragg Set for Bournemouth Show

    BOURNEMOUTH, ENGLAND, November 23, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Billy Bragg is back on the road and people staying in Bournemouth hotels can see him play on Sunday December 12th.

The English musician, known for mixing outspoken political views with romantic themes in his songs, is due to perform at the south coast resort's O2 Academy as part of his UK tour next month.

Although there has been no new studio album from Bragg since 2008's Mr Love & Justice, the artist and activist has been as busy as ever this year.

As well as contributing new songs to Mick Gordon's theatre production Pressure Drop, he played at the SXSW festival in the US to promote his Jail Guitar Doors initiative, which donates musical instruments for the rehabilitation of prison inmates.

Fans of the singer will no doubt he pleased to see him return to British stages this winter, with the insightful commentary of Bragg's songs seeming particularly relevant in the current climate of economic uncertainty.

Classic tracks such as A New England, Between the Wars and Sexuality could feature in the Bournemouth performance, as well as material from his more recent albums.

Tickets are priced at GBP16 and the gig is due to begin at 19:00 GMT.

For more information on this event, visit the O2 Academy website or contact the venue on 0844 477 2000.
