Click on Billy's nose to download a very small MP3 file. Last year we had bits of Billy Bragg's music, seven tunes in 11 seconds. This year to make it easier you have to identify bits of vocal, but so that it's not too easy you get ten songs in four seconds. All you need to do is identify those ten clips of Billy Bragg songs !
