Bragg and Lennon amongst highlights of new revolution
Curated by local singer-songwriter Paddy Nash, the three day event, which is part of the City of Culture programme for 2013, will focus on artists singing about the issues we face as a society, and explore the impact that music can have on our political systems.
Mr Bragg will open the festival with a headline performance at The Nerve Centre. Blending musical elements of folk, punk rock and protest songs, his lyrics deal primarily with political and romantic themes.
