The Roundhouse must be the perfect place to see Billy Bragg. Much like the Bard of Barking, its origins were working class, a mid-nineteenth century railway engine turntable built with the sweat and industry of local craftsmen and, since the 1960’s renovation to a dance hall and youth club

"My name's Billy Bragg. I’m from Barking, Essex," is how Billy ends the second of his three-night stand 'One Step Forward, Two Steps Back' residency at The Gov (5 March), an at times humorously self-deprecating performance of songs from his first three albums
