Faber released the latest Billy Bragg book, ‘Roots, Radicals and Rockers: How Skiffle Changed The World’ earlier this year. In it, the British songwriter goes in search of the history of Britain’s skiffle music, a style that really boomed in 1957 and in which musicians like John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Van Morrisson, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Gerry Marsden and many others gained their first musical experiences.

On the eve of his concert in De Roma, in Antwerpen, Billy Bragg comes to read from his book in AB Salon and be interviewed by music journalist Dirk Steenhaut.

'Nothing short of masterly.'- The Wall Street Journal

'A remarkable history of skiffle.... Bragg impresses throughout with engaging prose and painstaking research. He further enlivens the text with personal insights and witty asides that give the material a unique cast few professional writers would dare.... an accomplished work.' - Publishers Weekly
