One teacher said, I learned about Billy Bragg from one of the Burnham boys.
He's interested in that whole Irish lineage.
He looked into it and he's talked about it.
I think he had romantic links to Liverpool.
Once he moved out, he moved to Colchester when he was two, I think.
He's Everton, he's Catholic.
He once said that apart from family, it was Everton Football Club, the Catholic Church, and the Labour Party were the three key institutions that were most important to him.
And Manchester, I think Manchester was over there.
It was a place that enjoyed their music, but it was not particularly important to them, I don't think.
I think Liverpool was where his heart is.
I don't think he particularly does until he leaves university.
He dips his toe into journalism, but not a lot.
He's more into sports.
He's a very good cricketer.
I mean, probably a good cricketer, fast bowler, good footballer, decent footballer.
So he's doing a lot of sports and a lot of drinking, I think, at university.
The political stuff really only starts, I would say, after university.
He moves to London to work on trade magazines in Brentford.
Tank World, I think it was called.
But he's doing some political activism, and he comes across a lady called Eleanor Mills, who's the stepdaughter of Tessa Jowell, then MP, later Culture Secretary.
