Billy Childish es un creador polifacético (poeta, pintor, escritor,…) aunque es su faceta musical la que nos ocupa en este episodio. Con una trayectoria inabarcable -más de cien álbumes editados en los últimos 43 años- el artista de Chatham es el máximo abanderado de la escena y el sonido del Medway británico. Sobrevolamos su legado para intentar dar una visión aproximada de lo que ha significado y aportado a la historia de las catacumbas del rocknroll. El viernes 28 de octubre Billy Childish regresa a España para un único concierto en el marco del Funtastic Dracula Carnival de Benidorm.
