Show Notes: 
Another superb Billy Bragg show, with Billy even more verbose than usual meaning this one lasted for 10 minutes more than night 1 despite the same number of songs performed. Upon arriving in Meeniyan for the show and parking the car, I saw an old vintage car with the licence plate 'RCKNROLL' turn into the street blasting a very loud air horn, and who should be the driver as it went past but Billy himself, waving to every one and having a great time. Meeniyan is that kind of town! I loved both nights, but if I had to choose my favourite I'd pick this one, as the crowd was more enthusiastic which Billy appreciated, and any show that features Must I Paint You A Picture is a winner in my books. Come back again soon Billy, Australia loves you!

Recording Notes: Sounds as good as my night 1 recording, if not better. A rowdier audience than night 1, particularly the guys at the table behind me who started yelling for the song Richard at inopportune times like they had tourettes, but it doesn't distract from the recording. I also make no apologies for singing along to A New England at the top of my voice (I distanced the recorder away from me so I don't overpower the recording don't worry). Enjoy!
