More Poetry is Needed: John Cooper Clarke

One hour in honour of John Cooper Clarke, the bard of Salford, the punk poet of Greater Manchester.

In this show, I take a poet, discuss their lives and works, and their cultural imprint on a place in time. Recording at the beginning of the month of May, an evening in Utrecht, the sun was showing its teeth, the days were stretching out, and the poets were well and truly licking their proverbial nibs.

Recorded at Stranded FM, Utrecht on May 3rd, 2023.
