Capturing the ruptures of our time
IAN SINCLAIR recommends Jim Ghedi’s interpretation of Harry Cox’s What Will Become Of England
Jim Ghedi

FROM Bob Dylan’s Blowin’ In The Wind to Billy Bragg’s 1985 rendition of Florence Reece’s Which Side Are You On? and more recently Ill Manors, Plan B’s reaction to the 2011 riots, every so often a musical artist perfectly captures the socio-political ruptures of their time.

What Will Become Of England, the new single from Jim Ghedi, feels like one such song.
