British singer-songwriter and activist Billy Bragg joined ABC staff on the picket line in Sydney on Wednesday afternoon, delighting them with an acoustic rendition of Woody Guthrie’s Union Maid.

Bragg, 65, is touring the country again playing multiple shows spanning his long career including a three-night run at the Enmore theatre in the inner city.
