Kate Nash and Billy Bragg sing "A New England" at SXSW 2008

[TheBalloonHoax]

For lent i gave up the guitar and hid it away.....then i saw this video and got it out. FLML.

[MDemon300]

@TheBalloonHoax Why would you give up guitar for lent? The only way I could see you having to give it up is if you were prone to physical outbursts of the Animal House variety! Guitars make music and music brings people together!

[TheBalloonHoax]

@MDemon300 Im prone to play for hours and i have school and work. The guitar is the one thing that is sadly an extra distraction in my life.

[tasteofcoda]

kate nash is fit and actually a wicked keyboardist/pianist, and a good singer :D

[nushla11]

i like it

[banjgoboy24]

England  sweet England.

[Tommyfazz]

bad news for music lovers: you sold out you little shouty shit. Lib-Dem arsehole.

[pastaface100]

I like Billy Bragg but I think Kate Nash is a bit too fat to sing this song. Also, I think she probably smells like an old soapy flannel that has fallen behind the wash basket and been forgotten. Apart from that, it's a lovely song.

[molster66]

Kate Nash is alright, this song improves with a female voice and Kate does the job well.

[HWEofficalchannel]

@molster66 I dont think so, I think Billy Does Better by Himself, Im sorry but i just think the two styles of these 2 Dont Mesh Together Well in my opinion.

[bayonetsluts]

@HWEofficalchannel SHE IS A FUCK TOY,. HE IS A GAY

[197819783]

Kate Nash is not a good singer.

[Gerrylambe]

Briliant song

[92calwood]

she never replace Kirsty maccoll

[timothyxmcveigh]

I think she's quite a bit better than Kirsty...Less cheesy...No offense to Kirsty, but it's true. The 80s made a lot of things cheesy.

[wimbutler]

@timothyxmcveigh lol its meant 2 be bloody cheesy ! listen the lyrics :)

[oOllSnowllOo]

Kate, don't listen to those peenoses...^^

[manufuctup]

she sounds like she's being choked

[iskanderbenamor]

I thought so too!

[hellfiregrowler]

she sounds like Lilly Allen lol

[lenaisapunkrocker]

a bit but her sound is better.

[kidcracker16]

gotta say the Brian Fallon & Frank Turners version of this is 10 times better. Billy Bragg: Why Kate Nash? Shes shite.

[dragonfitter]

no one else wanted to sing with billy

[Gazareth2000]

coz hes shite

[Gazareth2000]

i like kate nash

[kosofunk06]

your mums shite

[Gazareth2000]

no u

[folkiefreek]

y is it that today all the femail singers have the werry harsh sort of voice and all sing in the same mimickie style? love ya billy b best song eva!!!!!!!!!!!

[mgrh001]

its female and very.

[glennw1002]

shes divine but should stop singing

[alirussell111]

kate nash is devine

[thebenns]

Sad to see the march of time (watch the old live version)! Agree about that girl she cant even hold the key he gives her at the start

[cra83]

I hate this girl's voice!, Billy sounds like a Londoner but she just sounds ridiculous, like shes putting it on!

Kirsty McColl is turning in her grave R.I.P

[mercuriopiccoli]

KENSTER111 got the point! Nash can reach and change the life of a young kid who doesnt know anything about Billy but knows everything about, I dunno, Klaxons!

[amazingrandy900]

Oh dear.

[calmac91]

I prefered the Kirsty MacColl & Billy Bragg version...

[boydie40]

bragg sounds good here. Kate Nash need i say she is terrible goes without saying now i think

[WDEsquire]

What the hell was that? She's just making it up.

[dillonhead]

wow those vocal harmonies sound rediculous. sometimes simple is better I guess.

[doobieman69]

God - Nash is fucking terrible! She sounds like a drunk karaoke singer. Deeply embarassing.

[zonelad]

she's got a wonderful uncoventional voice. fuck off you haterz you cant do any better. you just sit there behind your computer screen judging people. you get up on the stage at SXSW and see how you do.

[doobieman69]

I dont claim to be a singer like she does - so go fuck yourself, fuckwit.

[bobzilla211]

i don't hate kate nash she's just a bit mediocre. i mean at least she's listenable (mostly) - i actually get nostalgic for foundations when i hear i kissed a girl for the thousandth fucking time.

[iamhearny]

lmao,

your all ridiculing her because, of her singing but,

think tbh.

WHY THE FUCK DOES EVERYONE LIKE HER THEN??

so she OBV cannot be that bad!

godd what twats are yous like.

"oo kate is gayy ooo im cool ooooo"

well.

you will never have thousands of people loving you like katenash does :)

BRill songg

[kaysingerL]

yall are haterzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzz

shes dopppe

[NormanGunston]

Who invited her?

[borishawthorn]

good lord. she's today's talent is she? what the fuck. she's utterly talentless.

[koalaQT2484]

Kirsty is rolling over in her grave

[armleyglenn]

Billy how could you? She isn't and never will be Kirsty. Kate is not u to the job.I know we have to move on but this is very poor.

[daveaw69]

She's gone up in my estimation.

[jimphac11]

She has ruined this song.

[kenhomhotwok]

When she sings the 'Satellites' lyric, I actually want to slap her.

[koookeee]

Nice one, not really straight, but with all the flavour and lovable edges of an improvised little number.

[ThirdEyeOpen123]

are they playing in G? isnt the original in F?

[kenhomhotwok]

It is indeed in F.

[skillionaire]

cold, no soul

[dl295]

she is well out of her depth there,sad considering that had the posibility to be a good duet

[oneofthosekids]

I think that they are two completely different sounds, but sound pretty good together. Who likes perfection anyway?

[johnnythi]

WRETCHED. Kate Nash is okay at what she does... Unfortunately for everyone involved, this isn't what she does...

[rialb0808]

I love this song and Kate Nash is pretty good but Billy Bragg is a ledge and she looks way out her depth next to him. cib 1964 is right she certainly aint no Kirsty MacColl

[alexmulliner]

i loved this on nme awards! they're ace! :)

[mackic42]

Love this! They should do a studio version together! :-)

[TimeOutChicago]

Why does this view look so familiar... - SS
