THANKS FOR ALL THE PLEASURE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME BILLY !! I THINK WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR A NEW ENGLAND VIVA LA REVOLUTION !!! AND REST IN PEACE KIRST SADLY MISSED
DirtDiggler she wrote the last verse but he sings it now as a tribute to her. Read Johnny marrs book recently n him Billy and Kirsty were gd m8s done a few songs together. Shirley. Sexuality another Billy classic
He knows exactly what to do with his hands. He's feeling the music he wrote and that his incredibly beautiful and talented friend brought to life. Brilliant, Billy Bragg, as always!
"A Tribute To Kirsty MacColl" was the name of the show, Mick. Hence the description "Billy Bragg performs his classic "New England" at A Tribute To Kirsty MacColl live at the Shepherds Bush Empire 10/10/2010". I've a playlist from the show with several other acts singing songs that Kirsty made famous: th-cam.com/play/PLB18377CB558158FF.html
The irony is your misinterpretation based on your inadequate understanding of the the positions and then yammering on like your opinion based on said misinterpretation means anything.
No you're not. Billy Bragg despises people who work very hard and have nice homes? nah. He despises successful people who champion social (not necessarily socialist) causes? nah. You would have a point if you picked someone who actually resembled what you're ranting on about. As it stands, the only thing you're pointing out is your own thick-headedness and envy. maybe if you use even more exclamation points your argument will be more convincing...
It still brings tears to my eye remembering her sing it live and on record.
Lovely tribute to the wonderful and much missed Kirsty.
This is wonderful for beautidul talented Kirsty McColl..... 🌌🌎,💜🎶🎵🥀🎭🙏🏻
It's a beautiful thing. A great songwriter paying tribute to a wonderful singer
My fifteen year old son now sings this song with his band and does a fantastic job of it. Never dates and means as much today as it did the time x

Kirsty will never be forgotten.😊
two beauties...Kirsty and Billy... Both brilliant
Pure class, Billy Bragg. Bravo.
billy Bragg is not hard up for a few quid, but he does make an effort to help poorer people get the wage they deserve, most others do nothing
Lovely tribute to the late Kirsty McColl.🙂
Yes me too. I cant wait for my 8cd Kirsty Mac Coll boxed set. Thats what you call respect. May it bring her the publicity she long desetves😢❤❤❤❤
that was one of the best concerts i've ever been to...possibly THE best.
SUCH GREAT TRIBATE BY A GREAT FRIEND SHE IS SO MISSED
SO BEUTIFUL AND SO SADLY MISSED ALONG WITH IAN DURY
Ten/Ten/Ten, very fitting for a great artist, Kirsty, who will always be a TEN!
I would loved to have been there. This is one of those magic moments.
Billy you are a force of nature mate.
Lol.

Kirsty R.IP.x
Who is playing the opening riff in this and where can I find tabs please?
i've figured it out in open chord shapes in the key of g.
Burton Bradstock salutes the million millionaire Billy Bragg, yarp.
@caseyliveknight Because he's used to playing it on guitar.
Man, he just does not know what to do with his hands!!
Is that Phil Jupitus on Bv's?
Indeed it is. Phill was also the compare for the evening
Rip kirsty
Time Travel....
below me.
What do you mean tribute? He wrote it for himself.
"A Tribute To Kirsty MacColl" was the name of the show, Mick.

Okay, fair enough. I was wrong.
Mick Grant
And then he wrote an extra verse for her after she'd invited him to have breakfast with her at her home.
@@jehugo66seemingly she wrote the extra verse.or that's the version I heard first😊
@@ludekfierlinger4156 no, bill wrote the extra verse, he said so in an interview.
The irony is your misinterpretation based on your inadequate understanding of the the positions and then yammering on like your opinion based on said misinterpretation means anything.
@caseyliveknight probably because he is without his guitar poor bloke
He is just English:)
for the love of jeebus, give the guy a guitar so he can stop waiving his arms around like Richard Simmons....
Why are they doing a fun raiser for Cuba? They have free health care for crying out loud!
It’s to quick …..needs to be slower
He may have written this song but, this pathetic offering is an insult to Kirsty. Sure is not a tribute. She deserved better.
No you're not. Billy Bragg despises people who work very hard and have nice homes? nah. He despises successful people who champion social (not necessarily socialist) causes? nah.

ah, one of those everything is black or white types, eh? more boring that trolls...
is he pissed?got a bit of a beer belly.never seen him before without a guitar.this is terrible.
