Stephen William Bragg (born 20 December 1957) – known as Billy Bragg – is an English alternative rock musician and left-wing activist. His music blends elements of folk music, punk rock and protest songs, and his lyrics mostly deal with political or romantic themes. His music career has lasted more than thirty years.

“Greetings to the New Brunette” is a song by Billy Bragg from the 1986 album Talking with the Taxman About Poetry. It was the second single from the album, following “Levi Stubbs’ Tears”, and reached No. 58 on the UK Singles Chart in October 1986.

The song features Johnny Marr on electric guitar, and vocals by Kirsty MacColl. The song was selected by actor David Tennant as one of his Desert Island Discs in 2010.
