Bragg created the punk rock/pub rock band Riff Raff with Wiggy, in 1977.
The band was known for recording a number of singles but Bragg took a break from music and ventured into the military in 1981.
He later returned to music, dishing out various genres ranging from folk music, punk rock and protest songs.
Bragg is recognised for his activism and hence, the reason most of his lyrics are centred around political change.
Between 2018 and 2019, Bragg organized music tours across Ireland, New Zealand, United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.
