I was going to crack a great joke about Bob Marley being out haunting for the evening but it is all lost because, of course, you can't actually hear what I am hearing now.
If you could you would quickly realise that this isn't the Wailers of Peter Tosh and 'Family Man' Barrett but rather a '60's kind of proto punk meets Jugband ensemble impersonating Dylan / Donovan in what, I assume, is a tongue-in-cheek protest song. It is is really very good indeed but you may have to take my word for that as I can't find it on Spotify so it may be all round to Blagg Acres for an Eggnog, a mince pie and a listen.
Born at an early age a mere defenders' spit from the Boleyn ground, Billy Blagg has seen every West Ham game from 1898 onwards. Blagg was mentioned by Kenneth Wolstenholme in 1966 as one of the people on the pitch during the famous Hammers win over West Germany that lifted the World Cup and he returned to the pitch again for the 1975 FA Cup Final but stayed on the terrace for 1980 FA Cup victory. Blagg, 26, now lives with his eighth wife and innumerable children in a small semi-detached with chintz curtains in Dagenham, Essex and still attends every Hammers match and training session.
