2. A Beautiful Day
Billy Bragg takes time to savour and share stories of great moments where musicians were inspired by unfolding events to protest, to perform and to preach of an alternative way.
These are fractious times.
But there have been fractious times before.
And of all the ways of looking at history, the instinctive reactions of artists, specifically musicians, to changing times, is one of the most fascinating.
From Hamish Henderson to Stormzy, protest music has come a long way.
In the second of two programmes, Billy Bragg takes time to savour and share the stories of great moments where musicians were inspired by unfolding events to protest, to perform and to preach of an alternative way.
