Billy’s Latest Project
Oh Billy Bragg, how do I love thee?
Jail Guitar Doors is an independent initiative set up by Billy Bragg with the aim of providing musical equipment for the use of inmates serving time in Her Majesty’s prisons. It takes its name from the b-side of the Clash’s 1978 single "Clash City Rockers"… Ex-prisoners who have actively participated such sessions have are-conviction rate of between 10% – 15%, compared to the national average of 61%.
(BTW, no word on the job yet. Will keep you posted.)

On my sound mixing desk at the club I was working in, I made a sticker that said, “This Fascist Kills Machines.”
