Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robb Jenner Johnson (born Isleworth, Hounslow, 25 December 1955) is a British musician and songwriter, who has been called "one of the last genuinely political songwriters", and is known for his mix of political satire and wit. He has his own record label, Irregular Records, and has released more than 25 albums either solo or in several collaborations. Johnson began his musical career playing in folk clubs in the 1970s and ran a folk club at the University of Sussex, before forming a band called Grubstreet, which split up in 1983. Two years later he made his first solo album, setting up his own label on which to release it, before forming an agitprop group, The Ministry of Humour, with Mark Shilcock and Graham Barnes. After the break-up of this act and a failed attempt at forming a new electric band, he returned to performing solo and also formed a duo with female singer Pip Collings. In 1997 he composed the song cycle Gentle Men, based on the experiences of his grandfathers in the First World War.
