Still got no idea what I’m talking about? Let me fill you in…

English folk rock icon Billy Bragg will return to New Zealand with his full band in tow for two shows next March - including the Wellington Opera House on March 23 and Auckland’s Powerstation on March 25.

The tour will support his new and his first album since 2008 Tooth & Nail, which was recorded over five days in Grammy-winning producer Joe Henry’s basement studio.
