Billy Bragg: 'Mermaid Avenue: The Complete Sessions' Signing + Q&A with Will Hodgkinson

Billy Bragg burst onto the early &#39;80s scene as &#39;the one-man Clash,&#39; blending DIY punk minimalism and politically charged love letters to become a folk hero in Thatcher’s Britain.
Following Life&#39;s A Riot (&#39;83), Brewing Up with Billy Bragg (&#39;84) expanded his sound with trumpet and Hammond organ, landing in NME’s Top 10 albums of the year.

His Top 10 breakthrough, Talking with the Taxman About Poetry (&#39;86), embraced a full band sound. Accompanied by Johnny Marr and Kirsty MacColl, he delivered classics like &#39;Greetings To The New Brunette’, ‘Levi Stubbs’ Tears&#39; and &#39;There Is Power in a Union&#39;.

Produced by Joe Boyd, Workers Playtime (&#39;88) offered his most tender collection, featuring &#39;Waiting For The Great Leap Forwards&#39; and ‘Must I Paint You A Picture&#39;. Together, these records trace Bragg&#39;s rise from punk-folk agitator to unlikely pop star.

In November 2026, Cooking Vinyl will release long-overdue vinyl and CD reissues of Brewing Up..., Taxman..., and Workers Playtime. Remastered by John Webber at Air Studios from high-res transfers of Bragg&#39;s original master tapes, each album comes in a gatefold sleeve, with a limited edition run on coloured vinyl.
