Not Really Billy: a celebration of Billy Bragg’s Workers Playtime
21 September 2024
It’s Still A Secret, South Brisbane
Join award-winning playwright and musician David Megarrity (Friends of the Iguana, The Goodbye Notes, Tyrone & Lesley) and Samuel Vincent (Trichotomy, Estampa, Tyrone & Lesley) alongside emerging singer songwriter Isabel Yamazaki for a great leaping celebration of Billy Bragg’s beloved record Workers Playtime played on guitar, piano and double bass in aid of DVConnect.
English singer songwriter Billy Bragg’s third album Worker’s Playtime is his “most cohesive, melodically and lyrically tender and most loved album” (ABC). If you like hope, heartbreak and humour mixed in with your pop and politics, don’t be a victim of geography, walk a mile with a stone in your shoe to It’s Still a Secret for this tribute to some of Bragg’s greatest love songs played on guitar, piano and double bass.
“I think love and ideology overlap and sometimes things that politically occur have ramifications for people’s relationships and that to me, they are the best kind of song.” – Billy Bragg
