Always loved his version of 'A New England'
Re: Best gig /festival
Back in the days when David was an "old fashioned leftie".
These days he prefers Eric "send them all back" Clapton. Tony "enough is enough" Hadley and Phil "I'll move to Switzerland if the tories dont get in" Collins.

Re: Best gig /festival
Then why say "his version" instead of saying, "I always liked A New England" as we were talking about Bragg?
Nice try.

'Sunday Bloody Sunday' by U2.
What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it?
You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!

Although he wrote it, it was an album track not a single release. Became a hit after he re-wrote it for Kirsty MacColl.DavidOwen67 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 9:13 pmThen why say "his version" instead of saying, "I always liked A New England" as we were talking about Bragg?

Most people remember it from her version.
Even if you write a song it is still a version.
