Well pleased to have received my signed copy of 'Billy Bragg: A People's History' 😁 which includes my contribution about a group of us, from Bolton Institute, with Billy at an anti apartheid protest in London in 1985 (pg 149).

β€˜The best book about The Jam. And I’ve got them all. It’s the only book that has truly tapped into memories I didn’t know I still had. John Weller was absolutely right, you know!’ (Dave, on holiday in Turkey.)
