Win a Billy Bragg book, signed specially for Kirsty MacColl fans

Every October the 10th, we celebrate the amazing career and work of Kirsty MacColl, one of the greatest singer songwriters the UK has ever produced.
Many know her from the perennial Christmas song, 'Fairytale of New York'  but her work was much more than that. 
From punk, rockabilly, covers and Cuban, she was unique in range and versatility.
She died tragically in December 2000, and, as a nod to her love of Cuba, the Music Fund For Cuba was set up in her name.
It raises money for instruments and equipment for children on the island.
Its the charity we Kirsty fans support to help keep her memory going, and give young people the opportunity to build their musical skills
The prize is a copy of Billy Braggs book 'Billy Bragg: A People's History', with a dedicated inscription by the man himself on the page where 'A New England' is featured.
