THE original protest singer, Billy Bragg, makes a welcome return to Belfast in December.
Billy will be performing at the Empire Music Hall on Wednesday, December 3 and tickets are now on sale, priced £17.50, from all usual outlets.
Billy releases a new single The Beach Is Free/I Almost Killed You as a double A side single, on download only, from Monday,July 21.
The single is taken from his highly acclaimed new album, Mr Love & Justice, which was released back in March.
Following on from his sold out UK tour earlier this year, which included a show at London's Roundhouse, Billy has announced a thirteen-date solo tour at year end and returns to Belfast for his first visit in several years.
Billy has recently been championed by a new generation of musicians.
The Nationwide Mercury Prize-shortlisted Hard-Fi, for instance, invited Billy to support them for six nights at London's Brixton Academy in May last year.
The band later covered Bragg's Levi Stubbs' Tears for a BBC Radio One session while Kate Nash performed A New England with Billy at the NME Awards in February.
