Synopsis
Billy Bragg's life encapsulates so much about his generation: born in the late 50s, passions forged by punk, politics shaped by Thatcherism, hope provided by the end of the Cold War and the birth of New Labour. But his story is also unique. He endured an unhappy stint in the army, then became a British institution who never went out of fashion (he was never in fashion in the first place). In America he has been chosen as the spiritual heir to legendary protest singer Woodie Guthrie, beating the rival claims of the likes of Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen. Billy Bragg is a one-off and Still Suitable For Miners is his official story, a portrait of a peerless entertainer and a fearless campaigner growing up in Britain in the years after rock'n'roll.
