Billy Bragg & the Blokes

 

 

Ben Mandelson (bugelëiser) and Bill.

 

 

 

Lu Edmonds on the saz.

 

 

 

"Some Days I See the Point" features Martyn Barker on udu.

 

 

 

"NPWA" opens with Lu Edmonds on the tarbush — a hybrid cümbüs that sounds like a tar.

 

 

 

For the encore, Bill takes the spotlight with a solo set.

 

 

 

...starting with "The Man in the Iron Mask."

 

 

 

Simon returns on bass for "Tears of My Tracks."

 

 

 

Lu Edmonds on the cümbüs.

 

 

 

...and the guitar.

 

 

 

The usual suspects (apologies to Geoff), L-R: Billy Bragg, Ian McLagan, Lu Edmonds, Ben Mandelson, Simon Edwards, and Martyn Barker.
