The Proclaimers and Billy Bragg sing out for Reprieve

on 11 February 2010


Reprieve is delighted to announce a spectacular night of music magic, as two iconic British acts appear in Dorset for one night only on Friday 26th March.

The line-up includes national treasure Billy Bragg whose musical career has spanned over two decades; his songs notorious for their passionate political overtones. He will be joined by chart-topping dynamic duo the Proclaimers.

Craig and Charlie Reid of the Proclaimers said: “"We are absolutely delighted to be alongside Billy Bragg, supporting Reprieve again through our live work. The charity does fantastic and much needed work that needs to be highlighted and supported."

These acts are coming together to show their support for Reprieve’s vital work on Death Row and in Guantánamo Bay and secret prisons around the world. Both Billy Bragg and the Proclaimers are committed human right activists who have used their musical talents to inspire change. Now they are asking you to help Reprieve enforce change for the better for prisoners in the most desperate situations.

Reprieve’s Director Clive Stafford Smith said: “Powerful lyrics have always roused us to stand up and fight for the rights of others. I am delighted that two of the most inspiring artists of recent decades are performing in my local town of Bridport, Dorset – an important hub for human rights activity and little-known centre of the universe.

Join us for what promises to be a unique and entertaining night.
