A decade and a half of rewatching this. It’s my favourite version of New England. Incredible

2023, kate Nash is still incredible, underrated and under played, the cribs are the best live band still and Billy Bragg is still a legend 🤲

Around 1981/82 I went with my friends to Danceteria in NYC. At some point during the night we made our way to the roof of the building and all of a sudden some English guy with a guitar starts playing this amazing song, A New England. It was Billy Bragg whom none of us had ever heard of and we were blown away. He was incredible. I’ll never forget that night.

"I saw two shooting stars last night and wished on them but they were only satellites, it's wrong to wish on space hardware, I wish, I wish you cared" is possibly one of the greatest lyrics in a love song ever

Great song, Kate Nash's voice really adds something to it.

This duet has added such a new and deeper dimension to the song. Absolutely stunning.

this is literally the most amazing thing ever. they are my two favourite singers ever. i was raised listening to billy bragg, and i also love kate nash's music. this is like my life put into one.

2 Classic Songs. Billy is a legend to our generation.

Wow, best performance of the 30 years I've loved this song. Didn't those decades go by quickly???⏳

Brilliant, absolutely! Great duet,how can anyone not love this ,get some taste..

Kates voice complements Billys so well. This is poetry in motion.

I was 21 years when I wrote this song I'm 22 now but I wont be for long✌🏻 what a track

great collaboration - love how the female/male perspectives on ending bad relationships blend here. Well done.

That just gave me goosebumps..... Awesome!

billy is simply brilliant and kate nash is good as well. anything billy does is amazing it does not matter if it's music or politics. I always love billy.

I think my dad would have liked this as much as I do.

Kate Nash - Billy Brag Some things should never happen. That clearly wasn't one of them. Brilliant.

First time I watched that .... & they both bossed it! Saw Billy in the 80’s on the Red Wedge tour. Some things never grow old ..... “I don’t want to change the world I’m just looking for a New England”. Don’t even get me started on politics. I’m up for feeding hungry children. But children - my friends- were hungry in the 80’s in the north east during the miners strike. Glad this song never loses it’s relevance.......

Totally cool. Kate Nash puts a brilliant twist on a classic.

Absolutely outstanding performance

A real life love song 😞 fantastic duet!

Pretty well done. An unusual combination, but it works. New England will never get old.

Great to see a younger generation share a billy brag masterpiece. I ffff luved it

There needs to be a studio version of this duet

I must listen to this atleast twice a week, pretty much my ultimate song 🦉👍🙏❤️

It's nice to see a father and daughter getting on so well together.

nice combination. two legends, well legends in my eyes

The irony is that I was looking for "A New England" when I found this.

It sooo rocks'. In memory of 1995 and mad times ... Stay wild, babe. und definitiv, wenn du in England bist schau vorbei !!!

What an amazing match-up, Kate Nash and Billy Bragg, who would believe it?!

Wow. Great collaboration Billy Brag is great and so is Kate Nash.

Billy Bragg, ladies and gentle man. Legend.

ahhhh I can't stop watching this!

WOW. Amazing! I'd love to see this live anywhere!

Both are such great artists

When I watch this I feel like I am in heaven.

Kirsty MacColl rest in peace. You were always an Angel 🥰🙏🏻🕊

I now absolutely love Kate Nash between this and GLOW. I've loved Billy Bragg since a child.

How can you not like this song? He's so fascinating. this Kate Nash is a great compliment.

Still love this version of both now

Just seeing the title of this made me like Kate Nash.. I'ma watch it once it loads...

Love this Video - like the lyrics they compliment each other so well and come over as authentically genuine!!!

This is my favorite thing ever.

I was 21 when I wrote this song - now I'm 22 but I won't be for long. insanely deep lyric

Oh my, both of them are even better live.

shes sooo cutte!!!!

completely agree...she is absolutely breathtaking, f**k she's gorgeous!!!

i fucking loved this version! i think kate's actually a good singer. maybe not in the classic term, but i love her tones! and a new england is just bloody fantastic. 5stars

Great Duet and choice of song. I wish they sang the "Kirsty" verse at the end of A New England. My dreams were full of strange ideas My mind was set despite your fears But other things got in the way I never asked that boy to stay Once upon a time at home I sat beside the telephone Waiting for someone to pull me through When at last it didn't ring I knew it wasn't you

Love this odd mix of songs and voices! Regarding the dislike of the accents by brits its kust stupid cause its thier greatest selling point 👌

that's my favourite part too because she giggles abit there and the music cuts out for a while then comes back in again after; it works well.

Dunno why but this moved me to tears

awsome song. love this version

Had Billy's first album on tape back in the day. What a class collaboration

i like it.. sounds good and fresh... and im a fan of. rancid, the clash and SD

Not sure how I hadn't seen this in the decade since it was uploaded, but glad I found it by chance today.

Wow... pleasant surprise. Billy & Kate's voices work so well together on the chorus.

two very talented artists.....viva la revolution

God I Love This SONG!!!

kate nash all the way!! no competition

Shrs brilliant as is billyvas aways

Can no one get the poetry here. too modern poets sharing their best work just happens to be in song

Kate is a wonderful singer and a contender for cutest girl on the planet.

Majestic, One of a few songs about love and mind set, that if we were all honest, can be very hard, The chairman Frank Sinatra, said the best love songs make you feel it without telling you how to feel, Chow Bella!!!!!!

This is fabulous❤

She is awesome!

Love kate's face when she looks at him and smiles :)

I love you Billy.......

i would definatly buy this if it were released as a single. Billy and kate are brilliant together!

Billy Bragg is amazinggg !!

i just noticed i have to smile when SHE smiles too :o

Spectacular.

Thanks for posting this, excellent

Kate Nash lyrical genius

kate nash is a pop hit but Billy Bragg is a UK legend ;-)

best ever compilation of 2songs

Awe reminds me of Kirsty Maccoll.

Stupendous!

love them both

wow speachless!!! go on the billy and kate

I love Kate Nash, I love Billy Bragg and I love this song...and then together 😊. (Still love Kirsty's too though).

Two different classes , a bad mix ,Billy has CLASS! and Talent!

This is great on a couple of different levels. I hadn't heard Kate Nash before this , but both Kate, and the girl in the song, seem the perfect match for Bill and the guy in The Saturday Boy, or Shirley. That's why I like this pairing up so much.

And kirsty almost certainly wouldn't have a problem with this collabiration.

Imagine Billy Bragg singing with a bird like this back in the 80s? He would shat himself.

i want a hardcore rock´n´roll version of that song... i alwas listening to that song while jogging

amazing.....

Good singer songwriter

bill played my local festival few years ago. Kate Nash is headline this year. cm'on bill get down to saarfend again!

man Billy Bragg is always brilliant

wow love the accent both of them are great nice

I recon the two of them could sing most of Billy’s songs and it would be fantastic.

what a brilliant duet,thankyou for uploading

billy bragg=pure legend!

Billy Bragg is probably one of the best socio-political songwriters living.

This song always reminds me of the spice girls asking Elton John,, "will you have another number one".. ❤️🇮🇸

kate nash billy bragg mint xx

I don´t want to change the world I´m not looking for new England I´m just looking for another girl ...

kate nash sums up all I dont like about southern women in UK but Billy sums up all I like about British men. I married a foreigner but I miss those mates of mine

There are two types of English, the 99% appreciate this man, the 1% YOU see (on TV, in history, in news, products, business - all that crap) don't. Look up We are the 99%.
