Billy
Bragg & the Blokes
|
Bill with the Burns Steer (aka "that green guitar").
Lu Edmonds on the guitar, with Mac in the background.
The ever-dynamic Martyn Barker.
Mac, behind Lu's saz.
Martyn Barker, with udu. Relate its sound to that of slowed-down Depeche Mode records...
"...and I'm half English too!"
What the Blokes did while in Chicago (according to Bill, "Badly Drawn Bloke"): Ben Mandelson bought this Rickenbacker lap steel,...
...while Simon Edwards went to a White Sox game, where the players didn't wear white socks.
Someone in the audience threw ("Ramblin'") Billy Bragg a shirt reading "Political Prisoner in training."
Now what were those Turkish instruments again? L-R: tarbush, cümbüs, and baglama saz.
Martyn Barker (drums) and Simon Edwards (bass).
"For you I will be the man in the iron mask..."
Lu Edmonds on the guitar, and Mac on the keyboards.
Grant
Showbiz and Jon Langford, who was in attendance. Also present: Tracy Dear from
the Waco Brothers.
(Grant: "You've just ruined a perfectly good picture!")
