Billy Bragg Reaction
12 days after Smitty from the ‘What The Hell Everything Podcast’ uploaded his reaction to Kirsty’s version of ‘A New England’, he has put up a video reacting to the original by Billy Bragg.
I would love for him to react to Kirsty and Billy’s live acoustic version they did for the BBC in 1991.
