Are you talking about the singer-songwriter Billy Bragg?
If so I really admire him, like the song 'between the wars'.
Know nothing about melvin, what is his calling?
Ah, see above post!

my point is i used to think billy was a sort of working class hero, a voice for the underlings shouting up for the working man. But if his dad is melvin bragg that would make billy a rich mans son, so is he a political actavist cos he thought it would make good music. see if he was from a working class backgroud to me it would be more soulful and believable. ah well i do like his songs. between the wars is a good un. i love levi stubbs tears, get a copy if ya can i think its on talking to the taxman about poetry.

Melvyn Bragg is from a working-class Cumbrian family.

Woody Guthrie came from a better background than he would have you believe as well. It doesn't change the music, though.
