I doubt it would improve his singing, but at least it would stop him twanging that guitar ... I don't think you could call Billy Bragg a folk singer. His more aptly titled moniker of Bard of Barking is probably more representative of what he does. Tells stories set to music. he might not be the best singer in the world, but then it never stop Bob Dylan or Jimi Hendrix. each to their own I suppose. Look, I'm not saying Bragg's voice is pretty. But his pitching is accurate, his tunes are good, his songwriting is immaculate and you can tell what he's singing.
