ON THIS DAY ... in 1983 - BILLY BRAGG
53 photos of Sir William of Bragg, posing for Zigzag magazine
Interesting to see Billy photographed in a games arcade as it reminded me how much he/I enjoyed those. Pre-consoles you had to haunt the arcades to get good at games, and after I’d interviewed Billy in his Riff Raff days, before he became the fully fledged solo warrior we know and love, he’d pop into Zigzag’s Ladbroke Grove office if he was in the area and we’d go to a cafe on Portobello that had a couple of small units installed.
