Britain’s best-loved and most important performance poet, John Cooper Clarke is as vital now as he was in the 70’s. His biting, satirical, political and very funny verse, delivered in a unique rapid-fire performance style, resonated with the punk movement.
Fast forward to 2014, and JCC remains a key orator of British society. His mark is indelibly seen in today’s pop culture. Aside from his fashion style spawning copy-cats all over the country, his effect on modern music has been huge. His influence can be heard in the satirical and keen social observations of the Arctic Monkeys. Alex Turner cites JCC as a huge inspiration. This was recently demonstrated by Turner, as recently highlighted by the band’s cover of JCC’s ‘I Wanna Be Yours’ on their critically acclaimed fifth studio album ‘AM’. UK rapper Plan B featured John’s performance poetry in his directorial film debut "Ill Manors". Their duet Pity The Plight appears in the movie and on the films hit soundtrack. These collaborations mean that John has been involved in 2 global number 1 albums in the last 2 years! The show is a chance to witness a living legend at the top of this game, and joined by exceptionally talented friends.
