One of Britain’s best loved and most important poets and performers, John Cooper Clarke is as vital now as he was as the ‘Punk Poet’ or ‘Bard of Salford’ in the 1970s. His biting, satirical, political and very funny verse delivered in his rapid-fire performance style led to tours with most of punk’s seminal bands including the Sex Pistols, The Clash, Buzzcocks and Elvis Costello, before he began to draw large crowds in his own right.

The revival of the 70s punk phenomenon over the last few years has seen a whole new generation clamouring over John’s work and watched his star rocket once again. Continuing to write new work from his Colchester home, he has a plethora of new poems and monologues which he performs solo, alongside his best known works such as Beasley Street and Evidently Chickentown. He is also a regular presenter on BBC 6 Music and guests frequently on the Radcliffe and Maconie show.

The show also features special guests Mike Garry and Luke Wright.
