Known by many as ’The bard of Salford’, John Cooper Clarke has been delivering rapid fire punk poetry since the late 70s.

Expect a mix of hilarious anecdotes of life in a Northern town interspersed with machine-gun fast delivery of some of his best poems. Some of JCC’s biggest fans include Alex Turner from The Arctic Monkeys and Reverend And The Makers.

With support from Frank Sidebottom. Below is a video for the poem Chickentown.
