Hi Bob,

Maybe you could get any interested party to make a donation to the Trust.

Stick em on Ebay for £1. I'm sure you'd sell them then, assuming it's a sell out.

Hi all ,thanks for your ideas.
Billy is an aquired taste and although his last tour sold well im not sure what the demand will be in South Wales especially as he is playing a few venues within a close distance of each other plus the face value of a ticket is £17 which isnt cheap .Id be surprised if it were a sell out but you never know .I just rather the tickets were used than be wasted.

I struggle to believe anybody would go and see him at all, let alone pay for the privilege.

Wish I could go. Billy Bragg is one of my lefty heroes. Somewhat over-represented on my MP3 player. 8-|

Yes,he has written some excellent songs and his live shows are often a lot more than just that ,he always has a tale to tell and no doubt during these troubled times (football apart) he will have an amusing take on it all, would have thought that the current mp expenses row would have rattled his cage!

....." I never thought i would be,
fighting fascists in a Southern sea.
Saw one today & in his hand,
was a weapon that was made in Birmingham!."...

Island of No Return....Billy's song about the Falkland's conflict..Some of his early stuff was good...
