Info
On 25 November 2026 in London, Billy Bragg drops by Rough Trade East for a special Mermaid Avenue moment: a signing tied to the reissue Mermaid Avenue: The Complete Sessions, plus a live Q&A with music writer Will Hodgkinson. It’s a chance to get close to an artist who’s always worked in that direct, stripped-back space between punk urgency and folk storytelling, with songwriting that keeps one eye on everyday life and the other on the bigger picture.
This event zooms in on one of Bragg’s key detours into Americana: Mermaid Avenue, the late-90s project built around previously unheard Woody Guthrie lyrics, recorded with Wilco. Expect the conversation to dig into how those words were turned into songs, what drew Bragg to that tradition, and how this chapter fits into a career that’s moved from solo electric-guitar sets to fuller band arrangements without losing its plain-spoken edge.
