Billy Bragg shows support for new UEA protest song project

English songwriting hero, Billy Bragg, has shown his support for a new academic project. Our Subversive Voice catalogues the history of English protest songs dating from 1600 up to the present day. Bragg has said that these songs “can’t change the world” but can “bring people together”. The website contains roughly 750 songs, alongside interviews with some of the songwriters listed.
