Billy Bragg Tickets

inspiring evening Billy connects with everyone well worth my time

You can always count on an entertaining evening whenever Billy Bragg comes to town. This show was particularly fun with some witty banter with the audience, and conversations on peer-to-peer file sharing and digital media rights, local politics, and how much the band The Clash shaped his political direction. Playing a good array of songs from Life's a Riot with Spy Vs Spy up to the most recent release Mr. Love and Juctice, and a few songs from the Mermaid sessions, the audience was treated to the personal and political side of an amazing singer-songwriter. If you get the opportunity to go to see him play don't pass it up.

once again, it was an excellent night with bill bragg. he does not disappoint.

A great show. I was looking forward to it, but it surpassed my expectations. Never had seen Billy live - waited awhile to see him. So worth it.

One man, a complete show! He entertained with songs and stories.

Great show all around. From the opening act of the Skydiggers to Billy's almost solid 2hours of showmanship I don't think that anyone coudl have any complains about this one. Although it was a sit-down venue with no service bar, the show was more enjoyable than the last time I saw him at the Capital. Merch table left a bit to be desired but what can you do when all your distributor does is send you t-shirts. I'd recommend to anyone and go see it again and agian.

Great venue. Great show. Great sound. Billy is a consumate showman and funny as hell but still packs that "fight the power" fire in his belly after all these years. Nice to see.

Billy Bragg played with passion and conviction, his political commentary was insightful and inspiring even if I didnt neccesarily agree with all he said. I have to say I wish he had played more and talked a bit less. The only downside had nothing to do with Bily Bragg, but rather with the venue management. The ticket said the show started at 7 PM. The reality was doors opened at 7. I stood in the rain for a hour, then waited inside until 8 when the opening act began. They should have let us in sooner or had been more specific on the ticket.

I went for a concert, but got 30 minutes of anarchist standup, some of it ok, some of it not so much. Skydiggers lead singer's dancing was entertainging though, he really went for it.

What a voice! He's still got it. And those fabulous flying fingers on the guitar were mesmerizing to watch. His banter between songs is witty and thoughtful - a brilliant balance of political comedy and rock and soul. His songs are still in my head.

In 1985, I went to see the Echo and the Bunnymen show in Kitchener. Loved that band since the early 80s, and I even had a bird's nest haircut like Ian. The opening act was Billy Bragg. We waited for the band to go onstage. No band. It was just a solitary man. At first we didn't pay much attention, focusing on the beer instead, until he sang "The Saturday Boy" and my friends and I shut the hell up and listened. We've been listening ever since, and we listened again last night to vintage Billy Bragg. The show was amazing, his storytelling top notch, the politics inspiring, and the music superb. Only one thing missing: I wish I still had enough hair for a bird's nest.

Billy put on a good show. Great set list although I can't 't recall the order they were in. All the songs were my favorites from older albums. Glad he wasn't trying to flog new songs without playing any old ones. Only bad part was the seating was too tight. I thought we were going to have a table to sit at, but the show sold out so they stuffed us in chairs. Maybe he should have played at the Hamilton Place not the Studio Theater. Didn't help that I had to sit beside a fat person and I'm fat too. No alcohol at your seat made it a little uncivilized.

As per usual, Billy put on an amazing, sonically-powerful show. Great songs, great sound, great banter. Met him after the show for an autograph and a chat. Great guy.

Excellent show, would definately go and see him again.

Billy Bragg talked even more than usual on Tuesday night at the Phoenix in Toronto. Normally a good thing, last night he seemed a little tired and not as funny as he usually is. He was in fine voice, though the show lagged in the middle with Woody Guthrie songs that are not every fan's cup of tea.

I went to this event hoping for catchy and socially inspired music. I was not disappointed. Billy Bragg blends mirth and catchy tunes with some serious comments about the need to participate in social issues and the desperate fight against cynicism. He's an artist who makes you want to undetake meaningful action when you get back to your own world.

We had to leave after an hour ,due to the late start. Ok so maybe 10 o'cloclk isn't that late for it to begin, but for a mid week gig and work, in the morning, come on........ .We weren't the only poeple who left. Apart from that ,Billy still rules!

This is the second Billy Bragg concert that I've seen, and was as great as the first. Its refreshing to see an artist who is sincere and forgos the usual rock star bs. If you ever get a chance, go to a Bragg concert. From what I understand Billy Bragg talks to members of the audience after shows, but as both times I've seen him its been in Toronto on a week night, and I live about an hour and a half outside of the city I haven't been able to stick around, which is a drag.

Bill was amazing! The Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto is a small pub-like venue with a 1,300 capacity, and it was full. He opened with The World Turned Upside-Down, so I knew right away we were onto a winner. He played (in no particular order) Greetings To The New Brunette, Levi Stubbs Tears, Power in a Union, The Warmest Room, Accident Waiting to Happen, Sexuality, Cindy Of A Thousand Lives, The Saturday Boy (yeah!), A Lover Sings.... He closed with the WHOLE of the Life's a Riot album as an encore, with (obviously A New England right at the end). I saw him just over a year ago (at the Harbourfront Centre), and he played loads of newer stuff, which whilst OK, wasn't really what I was looking for. This time it was like being back in Barking Town Hall, where I first saw him 25 years ago. He didn't finish until after after midnight, way past his (and my) bedtime. I was hoarse, in fact barely able to speak... Bill at his best...

Passionate Genius. A man, a guitar, a cup of tea - a spellbound audience. You must catch this guy on tour.
