Poet, ed comedian, movie and rock star, TV and radio presenter, social and cultural commentator. Legend.

And the voice of McCains chips …

JOHN COOPER CLARKE … the original punk poet; The Bard; The Salford Stick Insect; the name behind the hairstyle; and a bitterly accurate commentator on (mostly) Northern life for over thirty years.

Classic tracks Evidently Chickentown (featured on The Sopranos), Hire Car, Kung Fu International, I Married A Monster From Outer Space, Health Fanatic, are all pure nuggets of observational genius and a style which has become the template for most alternative comedy of the last twenty years.

Witheringly funny, deadly accurate, reassuringly human, and in that now iconic image of tousled black hair, black sunglasses, drainpipe trousers and Cuban-heeled boots John Cooper Clarke remains a huge mile-high marker in today’s pop culture, copied to death but never ever bettered or even equalled.

Ladies and gents, give it up for a thoroughly nice chap, a bloody funny bloke, a legend of punk and someone not too big for his boots to sidestep the theatre circuit for a one-off whites-of-their-eyes rock’n’roll show once more at Fibbs.

Sir, we salute you!
