Billy Bragg's Jail Guitar Doors to open

 

Billy Bragg c Joshua BerryFollowing a great gig at Glastonbury, two rising stars of Bragg's prison initiative will play a special showcase on 30 July.

Jonny Neesom and Leon Walker - both former inmates who got into music thanks to Jail Guitar Doors - will be introduced by Billy Bragg at their performance at The Slaughtered Lamb in London.

Speaking to the media, Bragg said: "It's great to be presenting this performance... The voice of ex-prisoners is rarely heard in a society that locks more people up every year and both Jonny and Leon draw on their life experiences to write powerful songs."
