Billy Bragg to play Labour Conference

| 20 September 2007

Want to catch Billy Bragg performing a gig for trade unions at the Labour Party Conference, and help raise money for his Jail Guitar Doors initiative?

50 tickets at a special price of £10 each have been set aside for Billy Bragg enthusiasts to see the show at The Landmarc in Exeter Road, Bournemouth, on 24 September.

Tickets will be provided strictly first come, first served - with a maximum of two tickets per applicant. To stake your claim, just email Geoff Martin geoff.martin@blueyonder.co.uk.

The Proud To Be Unions/Hope Not Hate bash is promoted by the GMB, UNITE, UNISON and CWU trade unions - with money raised from this special release of tickets going to Billy's Jail Guitar Doors initiative.

The charity provides musical instruments for the rehabilitation of British prison inmates. One of the sought-after, customised Jail Guitar Doors acoustic guitars will be raffled on the night.

The event runs from 7.30pm to 1am. Billy is due on stage at 11pm. Also on the bill are comedian Steve Gribben, and cajun/bluegrass band Flynt.
