Last night we went to see Billy Bragg at the Alix Goolden Hall.
The place was packed, and it was a great show that went until after 2300.
He did not sing all "softie" stuff as I thought he might; he played a lot of his political songs and showed his background as a busker through his commentary and patter with the audience between songs.
The evening was marred only by some youngster in the pew behind me who absolutely stank of stale alcohol - it was like sitting next to a box of rotten fruit. Guaranteed instant headache: some are sensitive to aftershave or perfume, for me it's the aroma of used booze.
